Question

the school stage is 8 3/4 feet wide and each chair is 1 5/12 feet wide. how many chairs will fit across the stage?

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a school stage of $8\frac{3}{4}$ feet wide.

Its also given that each chair is $1\frac{5}{12}$ feet wide.

To find out the number of chairs possible we can simply divide the total length available by width of the chair.

$8\frac{3}{4}=\frac{35}{4}$

$1\frac{5}{12}=\frac{17}{12}$

so,

$\frac{\frac{35}{4} }{\frac{17}{12} }$

the value is just abow 6 so the total number of chairs that would fit in are 6.
