Answer:

The wingspan of his model is <u>2.75 feet</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Raul is making a scale model of an airplane that had a wingspan of 44 feet.

If Raul's scale model is 1/16 the size of the actual airplane.

Now, to find the wingspan of his model.

Length of the airplane wingspan = 44 feet.

<em>As given, Raul's scale model is 1/16 the size of the actual airplane.</em>

Now, to get the wingspan of his model:

$\frac{1}{16} \ of\ 44$

$=\frac{1}{16} \times 44\\\\=\frac{44}{16} \\\\=2.75\ feet.$

Therefore, the wingspan of his model is 2.75 feet.
