well, in short, the students and chaperones are at a 2 : 9 ratio, and we know there are 171 students, how many chaperones then, so long they maintain a 2:9 ratio?

9h < -79 - 2
9h < -81
h < -81/9
h < -9
This means that if the model is 1 in lengh then th ereal car is 20 times of that or 20 in legnth
so to find the answer, just multiply model by 20
8.7 =model
real=8.7 times 20=174
real car is 174 inches
12 inches=1 foot
conversion factor
1 ft/12in=1=convesion
so
174 times 1/12=14 and 6/12
the answer is 14 feet and 6 inches or 14.5 feet
