Amodel plane is 1/48 the size of an actual plane. if the model plane is 28 inches long, how long is the actual plane? explain and solve a division equation to solve each problem.

This is in division form:

x = the actual plane's size
28/ 1/48=x
28*48=x
x=1344 inches or 112 feet

When you divide 28 by 1/48, it become 28*48 which is equal to 112 feet.

Um
Okay, we know that the model plane is 48 times smaller than the actual plane which means that the actual plane is 48 times bigger. To be able to solve this problem, there are 2 ways to do it.
First way, 28×48=1344 inches long
Second way, 28÷1/48 is also equal to 1344 inches long. Ad a result, the actual length is 1344 inches long. Hope it help!
