an easy way to solve this problem is to set up a proportion and cross-multiply. 
[tex] \frac{6 inches}{x} = \frac{1}{35} [/tex]
now cross-multiply, and you get this:
[tex]x = 6 * 35[/tex]
or 
[tex]x = 210[/tex]
so the actual car is 210 inches, but we need it in feet!
so [tex] \frac{210}{12} [/tex]
the car is 17.5 feet in length!
Have a good day, and good luck with your homework.
