Question

A model of a car is 24 in. long. The actual car is 16 ft long. What is the ratio
of the length of the model to the length of the car?

1 foot = 12 inches.

The model of the car is 24/12 = 2 feet long.

The ratio would be 2 ft/ 16 ft which can be reduced to 1/8

Answer 1/8

Answer 2

16in : 24ft = 16in : 288in = 1:18
