If you plan to make the model 3 inches tall, how wide do

Answer:

If the model is 3 inches tall, the model bookcase should be 2 inches wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

When using similar figures, set up a proportion of the model measurements to the actual measurements:

[tex]\frac{3}{48}=\frac{x}{32}[/tex]

Then cross multiply and solve for x:

[tex]48x=96\\x=\frac{96}{48}\\x=2[/tex]

If this helped, a brainliest would be greatly appreciated!
