Example #1 The height of the symbol is 1.5 inches. The actual symbol will be 96 inches tall once it is created into a statue in my town. If the width of the symbol is 1 inch, how wide will the actual statue be?
Example #2 A model car measures 2cm:1ft of the actual car. Knowing this ratio, set up a proportion to figure out the actual length of the car if the model measured 36cm.
