The scale factor for a model car is 1:8. If the miniature car is 7.5 inches wide, how wide is the actual car?

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

1:8 means that for each inch of the miniature car, the real car has 8 inches. You can see it as the real car being 8 times bigger than the miniature. So if the mini is 7.5 wide, then the real one is 8 times bigger, or 7.5*8 = 60 inches wide
