Kathryn needs to include a scale drawing of a race car on her science science fair project. Her actual race car is 180 inches long and 72 inches tall. if she uses a scale factor of 1 inch= 8 inches, what will the dimensions of her scale drawing?

Respuesta :

To find the scaled measures of the race car, you have to divide the original measures by the scale. This is:

[tex]\text{length}=\frac{182in}{8}=22.75in[/tex][tex]\text{height}=\frac{72in}{8}=9in[/tex]

So the scaled measures of the race car are: length=22.75in and height=9in
