Question

A die-cast plane toy is scaled at inch to 1 foot. If the toy is 6.5 inches wide and 8.5 inches long, determine the dimensions of the actual plane, to the nearest foot.

Answer 1

One foot is equal to 12 inches. So the actual plane is 12 times bigger than the toy and it's
`6.5ft\approx 7ft` wide and
`8.5ft\approx 9ft` long.
