Answer 2

You did not appear to do your reducing properly. The ratio is not so much a division problem as it is a fraction in need of reduction.

Answer 3

So you are right on your first step, the problem statement is saying that 10 inches of model size is equal to 96 inches of real life size. So you have a 96:10 ratio, thinking back on reducing of fractions, what is the most you could reduce these evenly?
