The wheels are 1.33 inches on model car
Solution:
Given that,
A toy car was created using a scale factor of 1 : 12
Wheels on the actual car are 16 inches
To find: Wheels of car on model
Let "x" be the wheels of car on model
Scale factor is 1 : 12
1 : 12
x : 16
Thus we get a proportion as,
[tex]\frac{1}{12} = \frac{x}{16}[/tex]
Cross multiply to get value of "x"
[tex]1 \times 16 = x \times 12\\\\16 = 12x\\\\x = \frac{16}{12}\\\\x = 1.33[/tex]
Thus the wheels are 1.33 inches on model car
