Which board will Mia use for the length of the shelter, given that
1 foot = 12 inches?
39
36
42
What is the width of the shelter, measured in feet?
(i dont know! :( )
Which of the boards, if any, will cover all the space needed for the roof?
1 square yard
3 feet by 3 feet
36 inches by 36 inches
None of the above
To find the width of the shelter measured in feet, you can use the conversion ratio given: 1 foot = 12 inches.
Since the width is not provided in the question, we cannot determine the answer directly. However, if you have the width given in inches, you can divide it by 12 to convert it to feet. For example, if the width is 60 inches, dividing it by 12 would give you 5 feet.
As for which board will cover all the space needed for the roof, we need to calculate the area needed. Since the dimensions are not provided for the shelter, we cannot determine the size of the roof directly.
However, we can calculate the area of each option given:
1 square yard = 9 square feet (since there are 3 feet in 1 yard)
3 feet by 3 feet = 9 square feet
36 inches by 36 inches = (36/12) feet by (36/12) feet = 3 feet by 3 feet = 9 square feet
So, if the area needed for the roof is 9 square feet, either option could potentially cover all the space needed for the roof.
To determine which board Mia will use for the length of the shelter, we need to convert the measurements given into the same units.
1 foot = 12 inches, so:
39 inches = 39/12 = 3.25 feet
36 inches = 36/12 = 3 feet
42 inches = 42/12 = 3.5 feet
For the width of the shelter, you mentioned that you don't know the measurement. Without this information, we cannot determine which board Mia will use for the length and whether any of the boards will cover all the space needed for the roof.
However, if we have the width measurement, we can compare it to the length measurements mentioned above to determine which board would be suitable.
