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:(.

You are given a scale down of the original painting into 1/5.  The ship in the original painting is 14 inches. You are required to estimate the size of the ship in Akio’s drawing. All you need to do is to multiply 1/5 by 14.  

(1/5) (14 inches) = 2.8 inches  
Therefore, the scale down of the ship from the original painting is 2.8 inches.
