Math Problem( that my teacher didn't even teach me to do!): Akio wants to make a scale drawing that is 1/5 the size of an original painting. A ship in the original painting is 14 inches long. How long will the ship in Akio's drawing be? btw, I'm in 5th grade. It includes guessing and then testing your guess to see if its close or exactly right. even my math teacher and regular teacher do not understand it:(.
