Answer:

7/19 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a proportion. Let x equal the unknown model length.

model/real = (14 in.)/(38 ft) = x/(1 ft)

(14 in.)/(38 ft) = x/(1 ft)

Cross multiply.

38 ft * x = 1 ft * 14 in.

Divide both sides by ft.

38x = 14 in.

Divide both sides by 38.

x = (14 in.)/(38)

x = 7/19 in.
