Given the statement:
On a 1/5 scale drawing of a car, one part is 8inches long.
Determine the length of the actual car part.
Solution:
Since it said that the drawing scale is 1/5 more than the actual car part, we can determine the actual car part by dividing the drawing with 1/5 or 0.2
1/5
= 0.2
= 8/0.2 inches
= 40 inches
Final answer:
The actual car part is 40 inches long.
