<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, model of space shuttle Apollo Saturn V is created width a scale of 1 : 144
The actual space shuttle has a width of 62.4 feet
Convert 62.4 feet to inches
1 feet = 12 inches
62.4 feet = 12 x 62.4 inches = 748.8 inches
Actual width = 748.8 inches
To find: Width of model in inches
From given,
Scale width : Actual width = 1 : 144
Let "x" be the scaled width
Then we can say,
Scale width : Actual width = 1 : 144
x : 748.8 = 1 : 144
In fractions,
Thus the width of model is 5.2 inches
