Toy car length

On the Christmas flyer, we find a toy car model reduced in a ratio of 1:43. What is the car's actual length in the picture in decimetres if the manufacturer states a length of 14 cm?

Final Answer:

x =  60.2 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} M=43 \\ a=14\text{cm} \\ b=M\cdot a=43\cdot 14=602\text{cm} \\ x=b\to \text{dm}=b:10\text{dm}=602:10\text{dm}=60.2\text{dm}=60.2\text{dm} \end{gathered}$$
