Question

The statue of liberty is 305 feet tall. A nearby building is 4/9 as tall. Find the height of the building.

Answer 1

Answer:

The nearby building is $135 \dfrac{5}{9}$ feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statue of liberty is 305 feet tall.

A nearby building is $\dfrac{4}{9}$ as tall as the statue of liberty.

To find the height of the building, you need to find $\dfrac{4}{9}$ of 305:

$\dfrac{4}{9}\cdot 305=\dfrac{1,220}{9}= 135 \dfrac{5}{9}\ feet$

Thus, the nearby building is $135 \dfrac{5}{9}$ feet tall.
