Answer:
3.75 i
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the number of inches on a scale drawing that would be used to represent a car with an actual length of 10 feet if a 16-foot car is represented by a distance of 6 inches.
Proportion
The length on the drawing is proportional to the actual length, so we have ...
d/(10 f) = (6 i)/(16 f)
Multiplying by (10 f), we find the distance d on the drawing to be ...
d = (6 i)(10 f)/(16 f) = (15/4) i = 3.75 i
3.75 inches on the drawing would be used to represent an actual length of 10 feet.
