Aprofessional model maker is building a giant scale model of a house fly to be used in a science fiction film. an actual fly is about .2 inches long with a wingspan of about .5 inches. the model fly for the movie will be 27 feet long. what will its wingspan be?

Alright, lets get started.

An actual fly is about .2 inches long.

The model fly for the movie will be 27 feet long.

Converting 27 feet into inches, it will be = inches

So, lets first find the scale factor, so

scale factor will be =

So, scale factor will be = 1620

It means from the original size, the model fly is scaled to 1620 times.

The actual fly has a wingspan of about .5 inches.

So, the model fly will have a wingspan =

So, the model fly will have a wingspan = 810 inches

Converting inches into feet,

the model fly will have a wingspan =

So, the wingspan will be 67.5 feet.   :   Answer

Hope it will help :)

step-by-step explanation:

for exempl this   system of equations   y = x - 3

                                                                y = 2x - 5

look   the line : y = x -3     ( red)

                            the line : y = 2x -5 ( bleus)
