Sally has made a scale drawing of the airplane, in which the wingpsan is 10 inches and the tailspan is 3 inches. What is the actual tailspan of the airplane? A) 7.2 feet B) 13 feet C) 14.2 feet D) 18.4 feet

OpenStudy (kamibug):

You can set up a proportion. :) \[\frac{ 10 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 24 }{ x }\]

Pretty sure you can set up a proportion and equate the sides. |dw:1457807702822:dw|

OpenStudy (photon336):

like \[\frac{ wingspan }{ tailspan } = \frac{ 24 }{ x } = \frac{ 10 }{ 3 }\]

^ @Joshiscool Do you know how to solve it for x ? :)

OpenStudy (joshiscool):

no @KamiBug

Cross multiply. |dw:1457807896431:dw|
