Tiffany sketched a picture is a car she used the scale 2 inches: 12 feet the car in her sketch is 8 inches long what is the length in feet of the actual car

The actual length in feet of the car is 48 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tiffany sketched a picture of a car she used the scale 2 inches : 12 feet.

In her sketch the car is 8 inches long.

Now, to find the length in feet of the actual car.

Let the actual length of car in feet be

And the length of car in her sketch is 8 inches.

Thus, 8 inches is equivalent to .

So, the ratio of the scale used by Tiffany as given is 2 inches : 12 feet.

Thus, 2 inches is equivalent to 12 feet.

Now, to get the actual length of car by using cross multiplication method:

By cross multiplying we get:

⇒  

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

⇒  

⇒  

Therefore, the actual length in feet of the car is 48 feet.
