Answer:
the model trucks width would be 12.5 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
set up a proportion.
12/5=30/?
cross multiply.(this makes sense when the fraction is written out correctly)
5×30=150
now divide this by your remaining number in the fraction.
150/12=12.5
(sorry if the explanation is unclear, I tried my best)
hope this helped!!
