Answer:

  • c/3 = 169/12
  • 42 1/4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to know the actual number of feet, we can write the proportion with that in the numerator.

  \dfrac{\text{actual feet}}{\text{scale inches}}=\boxed{\dfrac{c}{3}=\dfrac{169}{12}}\\\\c=\dfrac{3\cdot169}{12}=42\frac{1}{4}\qquad\text{multiply by 3}

The real caboose is 42 1/4 feet long.
