A 1/800 scale model (1 cm=800 cm) of the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower is 42.2 cm long and 8.2 cm wide at the widest point of the deck. What are the actual length and width of this ship in METERS?.

The actual length of the ship is 337.6 m

The actual width of the ship is 65.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Scaling

The scale model of the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower is 42.2 cm long and 8.2 cm wide when using the scale factor of 1 cm=800 cm.

Since we are required to express the real measures in meters, the scale factor is 1 cm = 8 m.

The actual length of the ship is:

42.2*8=337.6 m

The actual width of the ship is:

8.2*8=65.6 m

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
