Question 9 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

A model of a car is 4 inches long. If the actual car is 8 feet long, find the scale of the model.

Answer
A
4 in = 2 ft
B
1 in = 2 ft
C
8 in = 4 ft
D
8 in = 10 ft

Explanation

The 4-inch model represents an 8-foot car. Divide both measurements by 4: each 1 inch on the model represents 2 feet in real life. So the scale is “1 in = 2 ft,” choice B.
