Question

Six office desks that are 7 1/12 feet long are to be placed together on a wall that is 42 7/12 feet long. Will they fit on the wall?

Answer 1

Six office desks that are 7 1/12 feet long

So, the length of the six desks will be:

`6*7(1)/(12)=6*(85)/(12)=(85)/(2)=42(1)/(2)`

The length of the wall = 42 7/12
