Question

a scale model is made of a plane whose length is 114ft and whose wingspan is 95ft if the length of the model is 31 inches, find the wingsoan of the scale model to the nearest tenth of an inch.​

Answer 1

25.8

Explanation:

114 ft ---> 31 inches

114 ft = 1368 inches

31/1368=0.02266081871 inch scale model

95 feet = 1140 inches, so 1140 * the scale factor of 0.02266081871= 25.83333..

This means, to the nearest tenth inch, the wingspan of the scale model is 25.8
