Answer:
Ratio of the lengths = 1 : 16 and 1 : 15.71
Ratio of the Area = 1 : 251.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Model = 1/2in and 1/6in.
Actual = 2/3ft and 2/9ft.
1 ft = 12 inches
2/3 ft = 8 inches
2/9 ft = 2.67 inches
Model = 0.5 inches and 0.17 inches
Actual = 8 inches and 2.67 inches
Ratio
0.5 : 8 and 0.17 : 2.67
= 0.5 / 8 and 0.17 / 2.67
= 1 / 16 and 1 / 15.71
= 1 : 16 and 1 : 15.71
Area of the tile in the model = length × width
= (0.5 × 0.17) inches
= 0.085 inches
Area of the actual tile = length × width
= (8 × 2.67) inches
= 21.36 inches
Ratio of the area
0.085 : 21.36
= 0.085 / 21.36
= 1 : 251.29
