On a 1/6 scale drawing of a bike, one part is 3 inches long. How long will the actual bike part be?

1 answer

To find the length of the actual bike part, we need to multiply the length of the drawing by the scale factor.

Scale factor = 1/6

Length of drawing = 3 inches

Actual length = scale factor * length of drawing

Actual length = (1/6) * 3 inches

Actual length = (1/2) inch

Therefore, the actual length of the bike part will be 1/2 inch.
