Answer:

182 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Sam is building a model of an antique car. The scale of his model to the actual car is 1:10. His model is  18 1/5 inches long.

[tex]18\frac{1}{5}=18.2[/tex]

To find the actual length of the car, we will use proportions as:

[tex]\frac{18.2}{\text{Actual length}}=\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]\text{Actual length}=18.2\times 10[/tex]

[tex]\text{Actual length}=182[/tex]

Therefore, the actual length of the car is 182 inches.
