Amodel plane was designed using a scale factor of 1: 48. if the wingspan of the model is 18 inches, what is wingspan of the plane in feet?

The wingspan of the plane in feet is 72 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the  wingspan of the plane be u .

As given

A model plane was designed using a scale factor of 1:48.

If the wingspan of the model is 18 inches.

Thus the proportion equation becomes

Putting the values in the above

Simplify the above

x = 864 inches .

As

Now convert 864 inches into feet .

                       = 72 feet

Therefore the wingspan of the plane in feet is 72 feet .
