Question

Deshawn built a model train car. The length of the model train car is 6 in. The scale Deshawn used to build the model train car is 1:36. What is the actual length of the train car in FEET?

Answer 1

first we want to convert the 6 inches to feet, post what you get for this ^_^

Answer 2

.5 feet :O

Answer 3

awesome

now the problem tells us a ratio of 1:36, that means for every 1 foot of our model, the real train is 36 feet. so, all we have to do is multiply the length of our model by 36 feet.

Answer 4

6 feet?

does your math look like this?
0.5 * 36
