To find the length of the scale model, we first need to calculate the scale factor:
Scale factor = (2 inches) / (3 feet) = 2/36 = 1/18
Next, we can calculate the length of the scale model:
Length of scale model = (Length of actual truck) * (Scale factor)
Length of scale model = (15.75 feet) * (1/18) = 0.875 feet
Therefore, the length of the scale model of the 1940 Ford pickup truck is 0.875 feet.
Scale factor = (2 inches) / (3 feet) = 2/36 = 1/18
Next, we can calculate the length of the scale model:
Length of scale model = (Length of actual truck) * (Scale factor)
Length of scale model = (15.75 feet) * (1/18) = 0.875 feet
Therefore, the length of the scale model of the 1940 Ford pickup truck is 0.875 feet.
