Thom has a scale model of his car.

The scale is 1:12. If the actual
car has 16-inch wheels, what size
are the wheels on the actual scale
model?

76-1=75

1/12 * 16 = ?

I don't know where nopur got his/her data or answer. From the data you have given, my answer is correct.

To find the size of the wheels on the actual scale model, we need to calculate the ratio between the scale model and the actual car.

The scale is given as 1:12, which means that for every 1 unit on the scale model, there are 12 units on the actual car.

Since we know the size of the wheels on the actual car is 16 inches, we can set up a proportion:

1 unit on scale model / 12 units on actual car = size of the wheels on scale model / 16 inches

To solve for the size of the wheels on the scale model, we can cross-multiply and divide:

1 unit on scale model * 16 inches = 12 units on actual car * size of the wheels on scale model

16 inches = 12 * size of the wheels on scale model

Dividing both sides by 12:

size of the wheels on scale model = 16 inches / 12

Now we can calculate the size of the wheels on the scale model:

size of the wheels on scale model = 1.33 inches

Therefore, the wheels on the actual scale model are approximately 1.33 inches in size.
