What is ratio ?

Ratio is the comparison of two quantities having same units.

Example : Ratio of a & b is written as a/b, where b≠0

What is the required wingspan of the actual airplane ?

The scale of the model airplane is 1:72

Let, wingspan of the actual airplane = x inches

Using the ratio formula, we get,

1/72 = 7.5/x

⇒ x = 72×7.5

⇒ x = 540

So, the wingspan of actual airplane = 540 inches = 540/12 feet = 45 feet.
