Please help me I don’t understand. An architect makes a model of a new house. The model shows a tile patio in the backyard. In the model, each tiles has a length 1/2 inch and width 1/6 inch. The actual tiles have a length 1/3 ft and width 1/9 ft. What is the area of a tile in the model to the area of the actual tile?

1 : 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Model:

1/2 in * 1/6 in = 1/12 in^2

Real:

1/3 ft * 1/9 ft = 1/3 * 12 in * 1/9 * 12 in = 16/3 in^2

model : real

1/12 / 16/3 = 1/12 * 3/16 = 3/192 = 1/64

model : real = 1 : 64

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
