Question

A model car is built on a 1:16 scale

If the wheelbase on the actual car is 186 inches, what is the wheelbase on the model? Give your answer as a decimal. Do not round and do not include the units.

Answer 1

11.625inches

Explanation:

If a model car is built on a 1:16 scale and the length of actual car is 186inches

16inches = 1

186inches = x

16* x = 186

x = 186/16

x = 11.625

hence the wheel base of the model is 11.625inches
