Question

A wall in Marcus's bedroom is 825825 feet high and 18131813 feet long. If he paints 1212 of the wall blue, how many square feet will be blue?

Answer 1

If you would like to know how many square feet of the wall will be blue, you can calculate this using the following steps:

8 2/5 feet high * 16 2/3 feet long = 8 2/5 * 16 2/3 = 42/5 * 50/3 = 140 square feet

1/2 * 140 = 140/2 = 70 square feet

The correct result would be 70 square feet.
