a pick up truck is 13 feet in length. tioanna wants to make a scale model of the truck using a scale of the 1 inch = 2 feet. what will be the length of the model truck?

Answer 1

An easy way to solve this problem is with a proportion. 1 is to 2 as x is to 13.

1/2 = x/13

Cross multiply:
2x = 13
x = 13/2
x = 6.5 inches

Answer 2

i got 6 1/2

Answer 3

You're right.

6.5 = 6 1/2
