(b) the length of the real television is 48 inches. what is the length of the television in the scale model?
8 centimeters

Explanation:

Part (a)

Step1: Understand the scale

The scale is \(1\) cm represents \(6\) inches. So, to find the real height, we multiply the model height (in cm) by \(6\).

Step2: Calculate real height

Model height is \(9\) cm. So real height \(= 9\times6\) inches.
\(9\times6 = 54\)

Step1: Understand the scale

The scale is \(1\) cm represents \(6\) inches. To find the model length, we divide the real length (in inches) by \(6\).

Step2: Calculate model length

Real length is \(48\) inches. So model length \(=\frac{48}{6}\) cm.
\(\frac{48}{6}=8\)

Answer:

54
