Question 283877: A Boeing 747 jet is approximately 230 ft long and has a wingspan of 195 ft. If a scale model of the plane is about 40 cm long, what is the model’s wingspan? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have to convert from cm to ft we have two measurement in ft and only one in cm.
1 centimeter = 0.032808399 feet
multiply by 40*.0328=1.312
then you have to get the ratio of the jet to scale jet/scale
230/1.312= 195/s
solve for s
