Question

A model car has a scale factor of 1 64 164 The diameter of a tire on the model is 0.41 inches. So, the diameter of the tire on an actual car must be how many inches?

Answer 1

Answer: 26.24 inches

Step-to-step explanation:

Given:

The scale factor to model car= $\frac{1}{64}\ inches$

Thus, if diameter of tire of the actual car is k then diameter of model car =$\frac{1}{64}k$

Since, the diameter of tire of the model car= 0.41 inches

$\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{64}k=0.41\\\Rightarrow\ k=0.41\times64\\\Rightarrow\ k=26.24\ inches$

hence, the diameter of tire of the actual car= 26.24 inches
