174 times 1/12=14 and 6/12
the answer is 14 feet and 6 inches or 14.5 feet
8.7 1
----- = -----
x 20
Then you cross multiply by going 8.7*20 and 1*x
174=x
The actual car is 174 inches or 14.5 feet
----- = -----
x 20
Then you cross multiply by going 8.7*20 and 1*x
174=x
The actual car is 174 inches or 14.5 feet
