what do you not understand about the problem ?

3. anonymous

I don't know how to solve it

4. ganeshie8

real car : 5 feet model car : 8 inch

5. ganeshie8

start by converting feet into inch

6. ganeshie8

5 feet = how many inch ?

7. anonymous

1.6 ?

8. ganeshie8

nope

9. anonymous

Okay think i flipped it 0.625

10. ganeshie8

are you saying 5 feet = 0.625 inch ?

11. anonymous

Well i divided 8 by 5 and i got 1.6 and thought that was it, i really don't know

12. ganeshie8

Ahh okay that is a good try!

13. ganeshie8

it is wrong because you forgot to convert feet to inches

14. ganeshie8

let me ask you again : 5 feet = how many inches ?

15. anonymous

60

16. anonymous

Sorry ab

17. ganeshie8

Excellent! next take the ratio 60 : 8

18. anonymous

$\frac{60}{8}=\frac{15}{2}$

19. ganeshie8

cancel 4 in both numbers and get 15 : 2
