Question

A toy company is making a miniature model of a dump truck. The steering wheel on the toy car that is 0.6 cm corresponds to the steering wheel on the real truck that is 55.2 cm. A windshield on the toy car that is 3.5 cm corresponds to the windshield on the real truck that is x cm.
If the unit rate remains the same, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

I used the 55.2 and the 0.6 to find a ratio of 92:1, so for every cm of toy car steering wheel there are 92 cm of real truck steering wheel. so using this ratio i times the 3.5cm of the toy car windshield by the 92, this gave me the answer of 322cm, which theoretically is the answer of this equation. 322cm.
