Question

The wright brothers' flyer had a 48 inch wingspan. carla bought a model of the plane with a scale factor of 1/40. what is the model's wingspan?

Answer 1

For us to know the wingspan of the model that was brought by Carla, we need to multiply the total wingspan of the Wright brothers' flyer to the scale factor that was given. The equation will be [ 48 inches * 1/40 = 1.2 inches ]. The answer is 1.2 inches.
