Question

A model of a car is 24 in. long. The actual car is 16 ft long. What is the ratio

of the length of the model to the length of the car?

Answer 1

16in : 24ft = 16in : 288in = 1:18

Answer 2

1 foot = 12 inches.

The model of the car is 24/12 = 2 feet long.

The ratio would be 2 ft/ 16 ft which can be reduced to 1/8

Answer 1/8
