In the gift shop of the military museum, Elliott bought a kit to make a model of a fighter plane. The actual plane is 21 feet long with a wingspan of 17.5 feet. If the model will be 12 inches long, what will the wingspan be?

For a model the ratio will remain same 21/12=17.5/x Solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would this require cross multiplying ?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
