Kakalina's class painted a mural to honor their ancestors. The mural covers a 12 1/8 m long, rectangular wall. It has an area of 36 3/8 m*2. What does 36 3/8 ➗ 12 1/8 represent in this situation?
The fraction of the wall covered by the mural
The length of the mural
The volume of paint per square meter of the mural
The height of the mural
I don;t understand....
The answer is "The fraction of the wall covered by the mural."
This is because 36 3/8 divided by 12 1/8 gives us the ratio of the area of the mural to the total area of the wall. In other words, it represents the fraction of the wall that the mural covers.
Oh than;s
You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
ok..
Is there anything else I can help you with?
Yeah.....
What can I help you with?
An electrician plans to install solar panels on a rectangular section of roof with an area of 69 m*2.
Tyriq said 69 ➗ 7 1/10 could represent the length of the section if the roof is 7 1/10 m across.
Corbin said 69 ➗ 7 1/10 could represent the number of solar panels that would fit if each panel was 7 1/10 m long.
Whose interpretation makes sense in this context?
1. Tyriq's only
2. Corbin's only
3. Both Tyriq's and Corbin's
please help meee...
Both Tyriq and Corbin are incorrect.
Tyriq's interpretation, 69 divided by 7 1/10, would give us the width of the section if the area and length were known.
Corbin's interpretation, 69 divided by 7 1/10, would give us the number of times the length of the solar panel could fit into the width of the roof section.
However, we are asked to find the length of the section if the area and width are known. To find the length, we should divide the area by the width:
69 / 7 1/10 = 69 / 71/10 = 69 * 10/71 = 9 9/71
Therefore, the length of the section is approximately 9 meters and 9/71 of a meter.
So, the correct answer is: "Neither Tyriq nor Corbin's interpretation makes sense in this context."
