Question

A border is made of 32 2/3 bricks that are 1 1/6 feet long. About how long is the border.

Answer 1

Find out the how long is the border.

To prove

Let us assume that the the length of the border be x.

As given

A border is made up of bricks.

`=32(2)/(3)`

Written it into the simpler form

`= (98)/(3)`

Also given

`bricks\ is\ (11)/(6)\ feet\ long.`

Than the equation becomes

`x = (98*11)/(3*6)`

solving

`x = (1078)/(18)`

x = 58.89 feet (approx)

Therefore the 58.89 feet (approx) long is the border.

Hence proved
