Question

A footbridge is 5 feet wide and is built with wood planks that are 6 inches wide. How many planks wide is the path?

Answer 1

Answer:

Path is 10 Planks wide

Step-by-step explanation:

A footbridge is 5 feet wide and is built with wood planks that are 6 inches wide. How many planks wide is the path?

Footbridge is 5ft wide

1ft = 12 inches

so footbridge width = 5 * 12 = 60 inches

width of a wooden plank = 6 inches

number of planks required to make a width of 60 inches = 60/6

= 10

so Path is 10 Planks wide
