The distance between the front wheels of a model car is 4.5 centimeters. What is the actual distance of the car if the scales is 1:24
well, that would be 24 times as much.
what is 24 * 4.5 cm?
To find the actual distance of the car, you need to calculate the ratio between the scale distance and the actual distance.
In this case, the scale is given as 1:24, which means that for every 1 unit on the model car, there are 24 units in actual size.
So, to find the actual distance, you need to multiply the scale distance by the ratio of the scale. In this case, the scale distance is 4.5 centimeters.
Actual distance = Scale distance × Scale ratio
Actual distance = 4.5 cm × 24
Actual distance = 108 cm
Therefore, the actual distance of the car is 108 centimeters.
