Question

Rock has a Model Truck it has a scale of 1 inch for every 32in on a real size truck he wants to build a garage for the model at the same scale give that the garage for real size truck is 12 feet wide how wide should his Model Garage be

Answer 1

We need to convert ft to inches first like this:

`12ft\cdot(12in)/(1ft)=144in`

For this case we can solve the problem with the following proportion:

`(144in)/(32in)=(x)/(1in)`

So then the model present the following size:

`x=(144)/(32)=4.5in`
