Question

You are going to paint stripes on one wall of your bedroom. The wall is 13.3 13 . 3 feet wide, and you want to paint 14 14 stripes. About how wide should each stripe be?

Answer 1

We know that the width of the wall = 13.3 feet

We also know that the number of stripes to be painted = 14

⇒ Width of one stripe = $\frac{Width of Wall}{Total Number of Stripes to be Painted}$

⇒ Width of one stripe = $\frac{13.3}{14}$

⇒ Width of one stripe = 0.95 feet

Hence, the width of one stripe would be 0.95 feet
