The length of each piece in a model railroad built in the HO scale is 1/87 of the actual length. Another popular model is the N scale, for which the scale is 1/160.
#1 Each car on a full length passenger train is 80 ft long. What is the length in inches of a model car in the HO scale? In the N scale?
#2 A diesel locomotive is 60 ft long. What is the length in inches of a model of the locomotive in the N scale.
Please show your work.
