Paul's car is 18 feet long. He is making a model of his car that is 1/8 the actual size. What is the length of the model?
A.
1/3 feet
B.
9/4 feet
C.
8/45 feet
D.
4/9 feet
B. 9/4 feet
Since the model is 1/8 the actual size of Paul's car, we need to divide 18 feet by 8 to find the length of the model.
18 feet ÷ 8 = 2.25 feet
This means that the length of the model is 2.25 feet, which is equivalent to 9/4 feet.
