To find the length of the model, you need to convert the actual size of the boxcar to inches.
Since there are 12 inches in one foot, the actual boxcar length of 40 ft can be converted to inches by multiplying it by 12:
40 ft * 12 inches/ft = 480 inches
Now, since the model trains are built at 1/87 of the actual size, you can find the length of the model by dividing the actual length by 87:
480 inches / 87 = 5.52 inches.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the model is approximately 5.5 inches long.
