360 ​ ft/in. ​
40 in./ft
40 ft/in.
360 ​ in./ft ​

Respuesta :

120/3 =40

 40 ft = 1 inch

so 40 ft/in is correct answer

Answer:  The correct option is 3, i.e.,40 ft/in.

Explanation:

It is given that the a model rocket is 3 inches long. The real rocket is 120 feet long.

The unit rate which describe the relationship of the real rocket to the model rocket is defined as,

[tex]\frac{\text{Length of real rocket}}{\text{Length of model rocket}}= \frac{120 ft}{3 in.}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\text{Length of real rocket}}{\text{Length of model rocket}}=40ft/in.[/tex]

This unit rate is shown in option 3, therefore the correct option is 3.
