your basement has an 8 3/12 foot ceiling.To the nearest half foot,how tall is the tallest cabinet that can fit in the basement.
I already showed you how to do a similar problem. Now it's your turn? What do you think?
I wonder how tall and wide the door is. If the door is wide and tall enough, the tallest cabinet is 8 feet.
it doesn't say how tall and wide the door is.
well...........................................................................................................................................................................i don't now
i don't know i need help on the homework can you give me an answer..!
I got this on my homework. I'm so confused
To find out the height of the tallest cabinet that can fit in the basement, we need to subtract the height of the ceiling from the height of the cabinet.
The height of the basement ceiling is 8 3/12 feet. To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator, so let's convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
8 3/12 = (8 * 12 + 3) / 12 = 99/12
So, the height of the ceiling is 99/12 feet.
Now, let's consider the height of the cabinet. Since we want to find the height to the nearest half foot, let's assume the height of the cabinet is a whole number, without any fractions.
To calculate the tallest cabinet that can fit in the basement, we need to round down the height of the ceiling to the nearest whole number. This is because the cabinet cannot be taller than the available space.
Rounding down 99/12 to the nearest whole number gives us 8.
Therefore, the tallest cabinet that can fit in the basement, to the nearest half foot, is 8 feet.
