Question

A Titan rocket is 80 feet high. For his science project, Joe will build a scale model of the rocket. How tall will his model be if he uses the scale 1 inch = 5 feet?

Answer 1

`16` inches

Explanation:

First find the ratio of the actual rocket size to the equivalent size for `1` inch (`5` feet):

`80` feet/`5` feet = `16`

Now, all we need to do is multiply that ratio by the scale that we are using:

`16 * 1` inch `= 16` inches
