The first jumbo jet was the Boeing 747, which is 70.5 meters long. The wingspan of the 747 is 60 meters. A model 747 has a wingspan of 80 centimeters. What should the length of the model be? Show your work.

94cm

Step-by-step explanation:

wingspan         length

60 meters        70.5 m

=

80 cm                   x

Cross multiply

(60 m)x = (70.5 m)(80 cm)

Solve for x by dividing both sides of equation by 60 m:

x = (70.5 m)(80 cm) / (60 m) = 94 cm

The length of the model is 94 cm.
