The length of the model car based on the information is 0.8 feet.

What is scale?

It should be noted that scale simply shows the relationship between a measurement on a model as well as the corresponding measurement on the actual object.

From the information, the model car is constructed with a scale of 1:15.

When the actual car is 12 feet long, the length of the model will be illustrated as x. This will be:

= 1/15 = x / 12

Cross multiply

15x = 1 × 12

15x = 12

Divide

x = 12 / 15

x = 0.8

The length is 0.8 feet.
