Amira is painting a rectangular banner 2 1/2 yards wide on a wall in the cafeteria.The banner will have a blue background.Amira has enough blue paint to cover 1 1/2 square yards of a wall.
What is your question?
2.5/1.5 = ?
The questions are
a) Find the height of the banner if Amiria uses all of the blue paint. Show your work.
b)The school colors are blue and yellow, so Amira wants to add yellow rectangles on the. left and right sides of the blue rectangle. The yellow rectangles will each be 3/4 yard wide and the same height as the blue rectangle. What will be the total area of the two yellow rectangles? Explain how you found your answer.
c) What are the dimensions of the banner plus yellow rectangles? What is the total area? Show your work.
To find out how much area of the rectangular banner Amira can paint, we need to calculate the area.
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the width of the banner is given as 2 1/2 yards.
To calculate the width, we first need to convert the mixed fraction 2 1/2 to an improper fraction.
2 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2
So, the width of the banner is 5/2 yards.
Now we can calculate the area:
Area = Length * Width
Since the length is not specified in the given information, we cannot determine the actual area that Amira can paint with the available blue paint.
