A civil engineer is making a scale model of a highway on ramp. The length is 4 inches. The actual length on the ramp is 500ft. Ik scale model is 1/125 but how many times as long as the actual on ramp is the model?

1500 Time the multiple of model scale is the actual length of the ramp.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Actual length of ramp is 500ft

Modelling scale is 1/125.

To Find:

how many times as long as the actual on ramp is the model.

Solution:

Actual length is 500 ft

When Civil engineer is modelling the ramp on model then it is about 1/125 of the actual length present at that site.

So

=500*1/125

=4 inches

So on model scale engineer took inches as a unit for scale.

Actual length is 500 ft and model length is 4 inches

So 1 ft corresponds to 12 inches hence 500*12=6000 inches

6000 inches corresponds to 4 inches on model scale

i. e it is about 1500 time multiple of the model scale.
