Question

An apartment complex has several 9-story buildings, and every apartment in the complex has a unique number. On the first floor of one of the buildings, you see four apartments numbered 109, 110, 111, and 112. In which building and on which floor is apartment 207?

Answer 1

Apartment 207 is in 7th floor of the building number 6 .

Explanation:

Given:

There are 9 floors in the building

The number of building and floor of apartment 207 .

Each floor in the building has four apartments

The number of apartment in a building = 4 * 9 = 36

Numbers on each floors are 01 to 36 after floor number

first floor of one of the buildings, we have four apartments numbered 109, 110, 111, and 112.

From the numbers, 1 is representing the floor number

9 , 10 , 11 & 12 are representing four apartments number

Recall,

Each floor has 4 apartments

207 = 36 * 5 + 4 * 6 + 3

36 * 5 = 5 buildings

4 * 6 = 6 floor of 6th building

180+24=204

205 - 208 =6th building 7th floor

Apartment 207 is in 7th floor of the building number 6 .

Answer 2

The apartment with the number 207 is in the second floor of the building that comes before the building with apartments numbered 109, 110, 111, and 112

Explanation:

The given information of the naming of the apartments are;

The four apartments on the first floor of the building were numbered, 109, 110, 111, and 112

Therefore;

The first digit number, 1, which is consistent, represent the floor number (first floor)

The buildings in the complex are 9-story buildings, with 9 × 4 = 36 Apartments each

Therefore, for the numbers of the apartment to be from 9 to 12, on the floor, the numbering of the apartments is sideways such that the numbers of the apartment in the given building will be X09, X10, X11, and X12, where X is the floor number

The previous building apartment will be numbered X05, X06, X07, X08

Therefore, the apartment with the number 207 is in the second floor of the previous building to the one given.
