A rational number because any number between two integers is a fraction.
An architect built a scale model of a shopping mall. On the model, a circular fountain is
20
20 inches tall and
22.5
22.5 inches in diameter. The actual fountain is to be
8
8 feet tall. What will be the diameter of the fountain? (A)
7.1
7.1 feet (B)
9
9 feet (C)
7
7 feet (D)
10.5
10.5 feet

Given a circular fountain is 20

Writing above scale as fraction

Now given the fact that actual fountain is 8

Okay. On the part that's not the whole number, see how the top number is BIGGER than the bottom? That means that it's not simplified. In order to make it simplified, you have to take a whole out of the pat that's not a whole number. Since the denominator is 12, the whole is 12/12. So, subtract it from the 13/12.
13/12-12/12=1/12
Now, since you found a whole inside of the fraction you have to add 1 to the whole number.
5+1=6
So, the answer is 6 1/12.
