Question

Models come in different scales. A model of a G-scale railroad car has a scale ratio of 1:22.5, and the model is 3 in tall, how tall is the actual car?

Please help me answer this, this is due on Monday for me!!!

Answer 1

The actual car is 66.75 inches tall. The scale ratio of 22.5 means that for every 1 inch of the model, the actual car is 22.5 inches. Therefore, 3 inches of the model is equal to 66.75 inches of the actual car.

Hope this helps!
