I used the 55.2 and the 0.6 to find a ratio of 92:1, so for every cm of toy car steering wheel there are 92 cm of real truck steering wheel. so using this ratio i times the 3.5cm of the toy car windshield by the 92, this gave me the answer of 322cm, which theoretically is the answer of this equation. 322cm.
