The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You are building a scale model of a fishing boat
- The boat is 62 ft long
- The boat is 23 ft wide
- The model will be 14 in long
We need to find how wide should it be
∵ The boat is 62 feet long
∵ The model of the boat is 14 inches long
- That means 14 inches represents 62 feet
By using the ratio method
→ Actual (ft) : Model (in)
→ 62 : 14
→ 23 : x
By using cross multiplication
∵ 62 × x = 23 × 14
∴ 62 x = 322
- Divide both sides by 62 to find x
∴ x ≅ 5.194
∵ x represents the wide of the model
∴ The wide of the model is approximately 5.194 inches
The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches
