Mason is building a scale model of a truck, using the scale 64 : 5. The actual measurements of the truck are given in the table. Dimension Measurement Length 230 inches Width 79 inches Height 80 inches Drag and drop the length of the scale model of the truck. Measurements are rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch.
Answer:
\(18.0\ in\)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem
we know that
The scale is equal to \(\frac{64}{5}\)
The actual length of the truck is \(230\ in\)
so
By proportion
Find the length of the scale model of the truck
Let
x-------> the length of the scale model of the truck
\(\frac{64}{5}=\frac{230}{x}\\ \\x=5*230/64\\ \\x=17.97\ in\)
Round to the nearest tenth of an inch
\(17.97\ in=18.0\ in\)
