Mia is building a thee sided shelter for her action figures. The shelter will resemble a rectangle with one of the long size removed she has boards that measure 36 inches 39 inches and 42 inches in length all the boards are the same width will need to convert some of these measurements into other imperial units to build a shelter the way she wants answer the following questions show your work
Question 1: Mia will use one of these boards for the length of the shelter she knows length of the shelter to measure 3.25 feet she will use a different board for the width of the shelter width of the shelter will be shorter than the length which board will use for the length of the shelter given that 1 foot equals 12 inches If she uses the 39 inches word board what is the width of the shelter measured in feet
To find the width of the shelter in feet, we need to divide the length in inches by 12 to convert it to feet.
The length of the shelter is given as 3.25 feet, so to convert it to inches we multiply 3.25 by 12:
3.25 feet * 12 inches/foot = 39 inches
Therefore, if Mia uses the 39-inch board for the length of the shelter, the width of the shelter will also be 39 inches.
To find the width of the shelter in feet, we need to convert the measurement from inches to feet. Since 1 foot equals 12 inches, we can use this conversion factor to convert inches to feet.
Given that Mia wants the length of the shelter to measure 3.25 feet, we can use this information to find the appropriate board. Let's calculate the width of the shelter using the 39 inches board:
Width of the shelter (in feet) = (39 inches) / (12 inches/foot)
Now let's plug in the values and calculate:
Width of the shelter (in feet) = 39/12 = 3.25 feet
Therefore, if Mia uses the 39 inches board for the length of the shelter, the width of the shelter will also measure 3.25 feet.
To convert the length of the shelter from feet to inches, we can multiply 3.25 feet by 12 inches/foot:
3.25 feet * 12 inches/foot = 39 inches.
Since Mia wants to use a board with a length of 39 inches for the shelter, this board will be used as the length of the shelter.
To find the width of the shelter in feet, we need to convert the width from inches to feet. Since the width will be shorter than the length, we know that it will be less than 39 inches.
Let's assume the width of the shelter is x inches. We need to convert x inches to feet using the conversion factor of 1 foot equals 12 inches.
x inches * (1 foot / 12 inches) = x/12 feet.
Since Mia wants the width of the shelter in feet, we need to find x/12.
However, we don't have the value of x given, so we cannot determine the width using the information provided.
