Long ago, people decided to divide the day into units called hours. They chose 24 as the number of hours in one day. Why is 24 a

more convenient choice than 23 or 25?

Because 24 is an even number. This means it has more factors and is easier to divide into integers than 23 or 25.

(05.01)A scale drawing of a living room is shown below. The scale is 1 : 40.

Answer:

$A=266\frac{2}{3}\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale is $\frac{1}{40}$

That means

1 unit in the drawing represent 40 units in the actual

or

1 inch in the drawing represent 40 inches in the actual

step 1

Find the actual dimensions of the living room

Multiply the dimensions of the living room in the drawing by 40

$Length:\ 6(40)=240\ in$

$Width:\ 4(40)=160\ in$

step 2

Convert inches to feet

Remember that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

To convert inches to feet , divide by 12

so

$Length:\ 240\ in=240/12=20\ ft$

$Width:\ 160\ in=160/12=\frac{40}{3}\ ft$

step 3

Find the area in square feet

Multiply the length by the width

$A=(20)(\frac{40}{3})=\frac{800}{3}\ ft^2$

Convert to mixed number

$A=\frac{800}{3}\ ft^2=\frac{798}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=266\frac{2}{3}\ ft^2$
