Paul is building a scale model of a panda. He determines that a real panda is 5 feet long and 2 feet high. If Paul wants his model to be 8 inches long, how many inches tall should his model be, to the nearest tenth of an inch? Nevermind i have the answer

It would be 3.2 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the scale factor. In order to do so, we need compare the actual length to the model length.

5ft:8in = 60in:8in = 7.5in:1in

Now we use that scale factor for the height. Divide the height of the actual panda by the scale.

2ft / 7.5in = 24in/7.5in = 3.2 in
