Answer and workin your attached below. Hope it helps
A function works like this:
You put any number you want into the input, and
the output depends on the number you put it.
That's why the output is the dependent variable.
Here we have to know the conversion between feet and inches.
1 Feet = 12 inches (This is given and is to be known)
So the 5 feet wide footbridge when converted to inches would be about 5*12 = 60 inches
The width of the footbridge in inches = 60 inches
Each wooden plank is 6 inches,
So the number of wooden planks that are required to build the foot bridge of 60 inches = 60/6 = 10 planks
Hence, the path path is 10 planks wide
