answer: The wingspan is 36 m.

Using a proportion to solve this, we write the scale factor as a ratio first:  19/38, since 19 is the size of the model's length and 38 is the real length.  For the second ratio, we have 18 for the size of the model wingspan and x for the real wingspan:

19/38 = 18/x

Cross multiply:

19*x = 38*18

19x = 684
36m because 250 divided by 8=36m
