Question

A carpenter uses 10 1/2 ft of cedar for every 12 1/3 ft of redwood for a construction project. If the carpenter uses 5 1/4 ft of​ cedar, how much redwood does he ​need?

Answer 1

Answer: 6 1/6

Explanation:

1) First divide 10 1/2 = 5 1/4.

2) Then, since we divide 10 1/2 then we need to divide 12 1/3.

3) 12 1/3 divided by 2 = 6 1/6.

And there is your answer; 6 1/6
