1.A model airplane is made to the scale 1 inch to 24 inches. If the wing of the actual plane is 18 feet long, how long will the model be?
Convert 18 feet to inches first.
18 feet * (12 inches / foot) =
216 inches
1 / 24 = x / 216
1 * 216 = x * 24
216 = 24x
216 / 24 = x
9 = x
2.When rating movies in 1994, critic Gene Siskel gave four thumbs up to every five thumbs up given by his partner Roger Ebert. If Mr.Siskel gave thumbs up to 68 movies, how many movies did Mr.Ebert rate favorably?
4 / 5 = 68 / x
4 * x = 68 * 5
4x = 340
x = 85
ANSWER: Ebert rates 85 movies favorably.
