Answer:

The model car is 10 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use conversion of units

Feet to inches.

Each feet has 12 inches.

The car is 15ft long.

So the car has 15*12 = 180 inches.

.5 inches = 9 in.

Rule of three

.5 inches - 9 inches

x inches - 180 inches

$9x = 180*0.5$

$9x = 90$

$x = \frac{90}{9}$

$x = 10$

The model car is 10 inches long
