Michelle is creating a drawing of a doghouse she is building. Ground level is represented by 0 in her drawing. What fraction represents the position on her drawing of inches above ground level?
Let's assume that the total height of the doghouse is represented by a certain number of inches. Since the ground level is represented by 0, the position of inches above ground level can be represented as a fraction of the total height.
If the position is inches above ground level, then the position can be represented as: inches/total height.
For example, if the total height of the doghouse is 12 inches, and the position is 6 inches above ground level, then the fraction representing the position would be 6/12, which simplifies to 1/2.
Therefore, the fraction representing the position on Michelle's drawing of inches above ground level would depend on the total height of the doghouse.
To represent a certain position on her drawing in fractional form, we need to know the total height of the drawing.
Let's say the total height of the drawing is h inches. Since ground level is represented by 0 in her drawing, we can consider the distance above ground level as the numerator of the fraction.
Therefore, the fraction representing the position on her drawing of x inches above ground level would be x/h.
For example, if the total height of the drawing is 12 inches and the position is 6 inches above ground level, the fraction representing this position would be 6/12, which simplifies to 1/2.
