Sarah has built a scale model of a bridge. The real bridge is 56 ft across and 21 ft wide. Sarah's model is 8 in. across and
2.5 in. wide. Is Sarah's model a true model of the bridge? Explain.

Answer:

Well, there are 12 inches ina foot so let's multiply 56 by 12. Now, divide 672 by 8: 672/8 = 84 So, we have 84 which means that if we multiply 84 by 2.5 it should equal however many inches there are in 21, if it is to be a true scale model. It is not equal, so no, it is not a true scale model.

Answer:

It is not equal, so no, it is not a true scale model.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we need to find the ratio of it and see if both measurements of the 'scale' model are the same. But before we do, take in mind we can't divide 56/8 because 56 needs to be converted into inches.

56 • 12 = 672

divide 672 by 8:

672/8 = 84

So, we have 84 which means that if we multiply 84 by 2.5 it should equal however many inches there are in 21, if it is to be a true scale model

21 • 12 = 252

2.5 • 84 = 210

It is not equal, so no, it is not a true scale model.
