Question

On a scale model of a building, 14 inch represents 38 foot. What length on the model represents 1 foot?

Answer 1

We are given that 14 inch represent 38 foot.
To know the model length that represents 1 foot, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
14 inch ..............> 38 foot
?? inch .............> 1 foot
length on model = (1*14) / 38
length on model = 7/19 inch = 0.36842 inch
