Question

Building A is 875 feet tall and contains 71 stories. Building B contains 109 stories. If the two buildings have the same number of feet per floor, approximate the height of building B rounded to the nearest foot.

Answer 1

Approx. 1343 feet

Explanation:

Building A is 71 stories at 875 feet tall. Since the two buildings have the same number of feet per floor, we can divide building A's stories to find the height of 1 story, and then multiply by the stories of building B.

Building A
71 ÷ 71 = 1 story
875 ÷ 71 = 12.32 feet
Each story is approximately 12.32 feet tall

Building B
1 story × 109 = 109 stories
12.32 feet × 109 = 1343.31 feet

Rounded to the nearest foot is 1343 feet.
