Given the measurement:
Toy Jeep = 12 ½ in or 12.5 in
Actual Jeep = 18 ¾ ft or 18.75 ft
Determine the ratio of the toy jeep and the actual jeep.
Solution:
In order to determine the ratio of the toy jeep and the actual jeep, we write it as the ratio of proportionality.
Toy Jeep: Actual Jeep
12.5 inches: 18.75 feet
The given can be simplified by dividing 5.
2.5 inches:3.74 feet
Final answer:
Toy Jeep: Actual Jeep
2.5 inches:3.74 feet
