An airplane has a length of 78 meters and a wingspan of 90 meters. A toy model is made in proportion to the real airplane. If the wingspan of the toy is 36 cm. Find the length of the toy. (Note: airplane's length(m) / toy's model length(cm) = airplane's wingspan(cm).

Airplane-> length 78 m , wingspan 90 m
Toy -> length x , wingspan 36
x/78 = 36/90
x = (36/90) * 78 =31.2 cm
The length of the toy airplane is 31.2 cm.
