Question

Mario sketched a sun, moon, and star design on a piece of paper. Each of the three sections, including the border, has the same width He wants to paint an enlarged version of this design on a wall that is 1612 feet wide. How wide should each of the three sections of the design be on the wall?

Answer 1

The width of the each section on the wall is 403 ft.

Explanation:

The number of picture drawn on the piece of paper.

Also, there is a border on the picture of the same width.

So, the whole page has been divided into FOUR EQUAL PARTS.

Now, the width of the wall = 1612 ft

Let us assume the width of each drawing = k ft

So, 4 x (Width of each part) = Total Width of the wall

So, 4 x ( k ft) = 1612 ft

⇒ K =
`((1612)/(4)) = 403`

⇒ K = 403 ft

Hence, the width of the each section on the wall is 403 ft.
