Question

If a toy truck is created in a 2:9 scale, and the wheel of the toy is 14cm wide, how wide is the actual wheel?

Answer 1

Answer:63 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The scale of creation is 2:9

The width of the toy wheel is 14 cm

Suppose x is the actual width of the truck

$\therefore \dfrac{2}{9}=\dfrac{14}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{9}{2}\times 14=63\ cm$

Thus, the width of actual truck is 63 cm
