Paul's car is 18 feet long. He is making a model of his car that is 1/6 the actual size. What is the length of the model?

Question

A.
1/4 feet
B.
3 feet
C.
1/3 feet
D.
2 1/5feet

Answer 1

To find the length of the model of Paul's car, we need to calculate \( \frac{1}{6} \) of the actual length of the car.

The actual length of the car is 18 feet. So we can calculate the length of the model as follows:

\[ \text{Length of the model} = \frac{1}{6} \times 18 \text{ feet} = 3 \text{ feet} \]

Therefore, the length of the model is 3 feet.

The correct answer is:

B. 3 feet

Answer 2

sorry, the last one is 2/15 not 2 1/5

Answer 3

No problem! Let's clarify the question with the updated options. The length of the model of Paul's car is still calculated as follows:

1. The actual length of Paul's car is 18 feet.
2. The model is at \( \frac{1}{6} \) the actual size:

\[ \text{Length of the model} = \frac{1}{6} \times 18 \text{ feet} = 3 \text{ feet} \]

Now, with the updated options:

A. \( \frac{1}{4} \) feet
B. 3 feet
C. \( \frac{1}{3} \) feet
D. \( \frac{2}{15} \) feet

The length of the model remains 3 feet. Thus, the correct answer is still:

B. 3 feet
