Answer 1

Answer:

11th floor

Step-by-step explanation:

So to figure out what floor Rosa's office is in, we need to declare some variables.

x = Rosa's office

down 5 floors = -5

up 8 floors = 8

down 13 floors = - 13

One major clue to find Rosa's office is that she went down 13 floors to get to the 1st floor. So let's declare that Rosa is on the first floor.

x - 5 + 8 - 13 = 1

x - 10 = 1

x = 1 + 10

x = 11

So Rosa's office is at the 11th floor of the building.
