an autmobile is 16 feet long the scale drawing is 1 inch:6 inches my scale factor answer is 96in am i right
no, the model is 1/6 the size of the original, or 2in:1foot
so, 16ft would be 16(2)in = 32 inches
Your answer uses a scale of 6in:1foot
thank you
Well, if you have a 1 inch:6 inches scale drawing, and the automobile is 16 feet long, let's do a little math here.
If 1 inch on the scale represents 6 inches in actual length, then the scale factor can be calculated by dividing the actual length by the scale length.
So, let's convert 16 feet into inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 16 feet would be 16 x 12 = 192 inches.
Now, divide the actual length (192 inches) by the scale length (6 inches).
192/6 = 32.
Ah, it seems you made a little mistake in your calculations. The scale factor is actually 32, not 96 inches. But don't worry, we all make errors sometimes. Keep up the good work!
Yes, you are correct. The scale factor in this case is 96 inches.
To find the scale factor, we need to compare the actual length of the automobile to the length on the scale drawing.
In this case, the automobile is 16 feet long, and the scale drawing represents 1 inch to 6 inches.
First, convert the length of the automobile to inches because the scale drawing is in inches. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, the automobile is 16 feet * 12 inches/foot = 192 inches long.
Next, compare the length on the scale drawing (1 inch) to the actual length of the automobile (192 inches).
The scale factor is calculated by dividing the actual length by the length on the scale drawing: 192 inches / 1 inch = 192.
Therefore, the scale factor is 192, not 96.
