Answer:

the correct answer is:

O 18:1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of the length of the car to the length of the model, we need to convert both measurements to the same unit. Let's convert the length of the car from feet to inches since the length of the model is already given in inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

So, the length of the car in inches is:

9 feet * 12 inches/foot = 108 inches

Now, the ratio of the length of the car to the length of the model is:

108 inches (car) : 6 inches (model)

To simplify the ratio, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 6:

108 ÷ 6 = 18

6 ÷ 6 = 1

So, the simplified ratio is 18:1.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

O 18:1

Answer:

18:1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of the length of the car to the length of the model, we need to ensure that both lengths are in the same units.

Since the car's length is given in feet and the model's length is given in inches, we need to convert the car's length to inches for comparison.

Given:

  • Car length: 9 feet
  • Model length: 6 inches

Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we can convert the car's length from feet to inches:

[tex] 9 \textsf{ feet} \times 12 \textsf{ inches/foot} = 108 \textsf{ inches} [/tex]

Now, we have:

  • Car length: 108 inches
  • Model length: 6 inches

The ratio of the length of the car to the length of the model is:

[tex] \dfrac{108}{6} = \dfrac{18}{1} [/tex]

So, the correct answer is: 18:1
