Question

A model ship is 28 in. by 65 in. Use the scale 1 in. : 1/2 ft to find the dimensions of the actual ship
(A)84 ft by 195 ft
(B)14 ft by 65 ft
(C)28 ft by 65 ft
(D)14 ft by 32 and 1/2 ft

Answer 1

if 1 inch...is 1/2 a foot
28 inches is? 1/2 times 28 right?

65 inches is? 1/2 times 65 right?

so what is 1/2 of 28...and what is 1/2 of 65?

Answer 2

you can then eliminate two of the answers... and then you look to the length to figure out...
