Question

Write an expression for the number or floors the building can have for a given building height. Tell what variable in your expression represents. (Each floor will be 12 feet tall)

Answer 1

Answer:

N = H / 12

H: must be in feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Declaring variables:

- Height of each floor L = 12 ft

- Total height of the building is H

- Number of floors in the building N

Developing an expression:

- The number of floors in a building can be determined by the following expression:

                                    N = H / L

                                    N = H / 12

                                   N = 0.08333*H

- it is to be noted that the units of H must also be in ft.
