Given that a model drawing for a sailboat designates 2" for every 5 feet.
If the height of the model sailboat is 13.4 inches tall, we have to find the actual height of the sailboat.
The ratio of inches to feet is given as 2":5'.
The actual height of the sailboat can be found as follows:
We first convert the height of the model sailboat into feet:
13.4 inches = 13.4/12 feet = 1.117 feet
We then use the ratio of inches to feet to find the actual height of the sailboat:
5 x 13.4 = 2 x actual height in feet
Actual height in feet = 67/2 feet = 33.5 feet
Therefore, the actual height of the sailboat is 33.5 feet.
