Question

Describe a situation that could be modeled with the ratio 4: 1.

Answer 1

Stacey wanted to build a model airplane to display in her room. The scale ratio she planned to use was for every 4 feet the airplane was, the model airplane would be 1 inch. If the plane was 250 feet long, how long would the model airplane be?

Here, I used the ratio 4 : 1 as a scale in the problem.
