While touring a city ,you see a skyscraper and wonder how tall is it.You see that it is clearly divided into floors.You estimate that each floor is 20 feet high.You count that the skyscraper has122 floors.How tall is this skyscraper ?
You have two numbers -- 20 and 122.
You can either add, subtract, multiply, or divide them.
Which process do you think will give you the correct answer?
ok thx 👍🏽
I'll be glad to check your answer.
Is it 20*122=2.440?
Right. 2,440 feet tall.
To find the height of the skyscraper, you can multiply the number of floors by the estimated height of each floor. In this case, each floor is estimated to be 20 feet high, and there are 122 floors in total.
So, to calculate the height of the skyscraper, you can use the formula:
Height = Total number of floors * Height of each floor
Height = 122 floors * 20 feet/floor
Height = 2440 feet
Therefore, the skyscraper is estimated to be 2440 feet tall.
