Question

1. Thom has a scale model of his car. The

Answer 1

$x =\frac{4}{3}inch$ is the size in wheels on the scale model .

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct Question : Tom has a scale model of his car. The scale factor is 1 : 12. If the actual car has 16-inch wheels, what size are the wheels on the scale model?

We have , The scale factor is 1 : 12. We need to find If the actual car has 16-inch wheels, what size are the wheels on the scale model .Let's find out:

Ratio of size of wheels to actual size of wheels is 1:12 , but actual car has 16-inch wheels So ,

⇒ $\frac{1}{12} = \frac{x}{16}$                 { x is size of wheel in scale model }

⇒ $\frac{1(16)}{12} = \frac{x}{16}(16)$

⇒ $x =\frac{16}{12}$

⇒ $x =\frac{4}{3}inch$

Therefore , $x =\frac{4}{3}inch$ is the size in wheels on the scale model .
