Answer:
The actual length of the train is 76 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that
1 ft=12 in
Convert inches to feet
10.4712 in=10.4712/12=0.8726 ft
we know that
The scale of the train is [tex]\frac{1}{87.1}[/tex]
That means-----> One unit in the model train represent 87.1 units in the actual train
To find out the length of the actual train, multiply the length of the model train by 87.1
so
0.8726(87.1)=76 ft
therefore
The actual length of the train is 76 ft
