Question

The floor of a rectangular meeting room is the same length as the room and is 1/6 the width of the room. What is the width of the raised platform. Length is 7 1/2 and width is 6 2/5.

Answer 1

Answer:

Width of raised platform = $1\frac{1}{15}\text{ units}$ = 1.067 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information about the room:

Lenght of room = $7\frac{1}{2}\text{ units}$

Width of room = $6\frac{2}{5}\text{ units}$

We are given the following information about the raised platform of meeting room.

Length of raised platform = Length of the room  =  $7\frac{1}{2}\text{ units}$

Width of the raised platform = $\frac{1}{6} \times \text{Width of the room}$

=$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{32}{5}$

= $\frac{16}{15} \text{ units}$

=$1\frac{1}{15}\text{ units}$

= 1.067 units

Answer 2

Length of floor = length of room = 7.5 units

Width of floor = $\frac{1}{6}$ * Width of Room = $\frac{1}{6}$ * $\frac{32}{5}$

⇒ Width of floor = 1.067 units
