James has a model helicopter. The model is 8 inches long and 7 inches wide. The actual helicopter isn’t 56 inches long. What is the helicopters actual width, if we assume the models proportions are accurate?
To find the width, we can divide 56 by 8 and figure out the scale of the replica. the scale would be 1/7, so multiply 7 x 7 and we get 49 which is our answer.
