Question

The height of a certain banner is equal to one third of its length. If the banner is 5 ft tall, write the equation that can be used to find the banners lenghth,L, in feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

$L=3h$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let height of a banner be $h$, then we know that this is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the length $L$ of the banner; so we have

$h=\frac{1}{3} L$ .

Now we can rearrange this equation to solve for the length of the banner given it's height:

$L=3h$

So there we have it!

If the banner is 5 ft tall, then it's length will be:

$L=3*5=15ft$
