he height of a building is proportional to the number of floors. The figure shows the height of a building with 7 floors. Complete parts a and b.
h equals 91 ft
Write the ratio of height of the building to the number of floors. Then, find the unit rate, and explain what it means in this situation.
a) The ratio of height of the building to the number of floors is 91ft/7 floors.
b) The unit rate is 91ft/7 floors, which simplifies to approximately 13 ft/floor.
In this situation, the unit rate means that for every floor in the building, the height increases by approximately 13 feet.
