<em><u>Question:</u></em>
Hector has a floor plan showing his new house. On the floor plan, his bedroom is 3 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches long. The scale of the floor plan is 1/4 inch = 1 foot. What is the actual length of Hector’s room?
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
The actual length of Hector room is 14 foot
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, On the floor plan, his bedroom is 3 inches wide and 
inches long
<em><u>The scale of floor plan is given as:</u></em>
Therefore,
To find: Actual length of floor
From given question,
Converting the mixed fraction to improper fraction,
Since, 1 inch = 4 foot
Thus actual length of Hector room is 14 foot
One Way:
We can change the mixed number to a decimal for comparing.
m =
m = 1.25 m
1.4 m > 1.25 m
Darren > Luke
Darren's jump was higher by (1.4-1.25)
0.15 m
Or another way change the decimal to a fraction and the mixed to an improper fraction too.
=
(Luke)
1.4 =
(Darren)
We need a common denominator to compare
(Luke)
(Darren)
(Luke)
(Darren)
Darren > Luke
By:
-
=
Which is also by
0.15 m
Darren jumps higher and by 0.15 m
The answer is about 36.9%
I just guessed and checked. 95-60= 35
So .3685×95 is the closest to equaling 35
Order of operations
first divide, than add
35/5 = 7
56/7 = 8
7 + 8 = 15
15 is your answer
hope this helps
So it took him 4/5 of an hour to paint 1/3
that means there is still 2/3 to go
so that means that he will have two times that time to paint the rest of the room
<u>4/5</u> = <u> ? </u>
1/3 2/3
using cross multiplication
(4/5)(2/3) = (1/3) (?)
8/15 = 1/3 ?
divide both sides by 1/3
so that will be 8/5
that means it will take 8/5 of an hour to complete the rest
or 12/5 total to do entire room
Hope this helps ;)
