Question

A parking garage has 5 levels below ground. Each level is the same height. Consider ground level to be 0. The depth of the the fifth level of the parking garage is −118.5 ft. What is the depth of the first level of the parking garage?

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that the depth of the first level is of -23.7 ft.

-----------------------

• As each level has the same height, this question can be solved by proportions, with a rule of three.
• 5 levels have a depth of -118.5ft. What is the depth of 1 level?

5 levels - -118.5 ft

1 level - x

Applying cross multiplication:

$5x = -118.5$

$x = -\frac{118.5}{5}$

$x = -23.7$

The depth of the first level is of -23.7 ft.
