Question

Luna is making a rope ladder. Each step of the ladder is 2 1/3 feet wide and uses an additional 1/2 foot on each end of the step for the knot. Luna has a rope that is 30 feet long. How many steps can she make from the rope?

Answer 1

By taking the quotient between the total length and the length needed for each step, we conclude that Luna can make 9 steps.

How many steps can she make from the rope?

To find this, we need to take the quotient between the total length of the rope and the length needed for each step.

She has a total length of 30ft.

For each step she needs (2 + 1/3) ft plus (1/2) ft for each knot, and there are two knots, then each step needs: (2 + 1/3)ft + 2*(1/2)ft = (3 + 1/3) ft.

Then the number of steps that can be made is:

N = (30 ft)/(3 + 1/3) ft. = 9

She can make 9 steps or the lader.
