193.6/12.1=15.95

just under 16 floors

Answer 2

16 floors.

Explanation:

Let n represent number of floors in the building.

We have been given that each floor of a building is 12.1 feet tall. So length of n floors would be
`12.1n`.

We are also told that the height of the building is 193.6 feet. This means height of n floors is 193.6 ft.

`12.1n=193.6`

`(12.1n)/(12.1)=(193.6)/(12.1)`

`n=16`

Therefore, there are 16 floors in the building.
