PLEASE HELP ME

In the gift shop of the History of Flight museum, Elisa bought a kit to make a model of a jet airplane. The actual plane is 20 feet long with a wingspan of 16 feet. If the finished model will be 15 inches long, what will the wingspan be?

Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

20ft=240 inches

if 240 inches becomes 15 then you have to find what the scale is

15÷240=[tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

so the scale is [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] because 15 is [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] of 240

to find the wingspan multiply 16 feet in inches which is 192 by [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]  x 192=12inches

21feetx12=252
252inches/10.5inches=24
17.5feetx12inches=210inches
210inches/24=8.75 inches
