Answer 2

Answer:

The previous answer is incorrect because the question is asking  for inches not volume.     L X W X H = volume

The find the answer for the above question please follow this Step-by-step explanation:

We need to decrease the 16 foot car to 10 feet so we will first work this equation like this:

Start first by finding what number you multiply 16 by to get to 10 feet.

16(x) = 10

x=10/16

= .625

Now you can find the inches using the multiplier .625

Since you multiplied the feet by .625 now we multiply the inches by the same

6inches x .625 = 3.75

Ratio table :

6 inches : 16 feet

3.75 inches : 10 feet

check your math:

3.75 inches X 1.6 = 6inches

10 feet X 1.6 = 16 feet
