Question

An architect is designing a building each floor will be 12 ft tall. Write an expression for the number of floors the building can have for a given building height. Tell what the variable in your expression represents.

Answer 1

There will be
`(12)/(h)` floors in the bulilding.

Explanation:

Given:

Height of each floor = 12 ft

To Find :

The number of floors the building can have for a given building height = ?

Solution:

Let the height of the building be h

Let the number of floors in the building be f

The Total height of the building will be the product of number of floors and Height of each floor

`h = f * 12`

Rewriting the equation, we get

`f = (12)/(h)`
