Question

the school stage is 8 3/4 feet wide and each chair is 1 5/12 feet wide. how many chairs will fit across the stage?

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

We have a school stage of
`8(3)/(4)` feet wide.

Its also given that each chair is
`1(5)/(12)` feet wide.

To find out the number of chairs possible we can simply divide the total length available by width of the chair.

`8(3)/(4)=(35)/(4)`

`1(5)/(12)=(17)/(12)`

so,

`((35)/(4) )/((17)/(12) )`

the value is just abow 6 so the total number of chairs that would fit in are 6.
