Question

You are going to paint stripes on one wall of your bedroom. The wall is 13.3 13 . 3 feet wide, and you want to paint 14 14 stripes. About how wide should each stripe be?

Answer 1

We know that the width of the wall = 13.3 feet

We also know that the number of stripes to be painted = 14

⇒ Width of one stripe =
`(Width of Wall)/(Total Number of Stripes to be Painted)`

⇒ Width of one stripe =
`(13.3)/(14)`

⇒ Width of one stripe = 0.95 feet

Hence, the width of one stripe would be 0.95 feet
