Question

An artist paints a mural on a wall at the local park The wall measures 16 1/4 meters in length. The artist paints a star every 18/20 meter. What is the total number of stars the artist paints om the mural?

Answer 1

The total length of the wall is

`l=16(1)/(4)m=(65)/(4)m`

the artist paint the star in every 18/20 meter,

so the total number of the stars are,

`(((64)/(5)))/((18)/(20))`
`(64*20)/(5*18)=14.22`

so the number of stars will be an integer. so we will round it

so the answer is 14 star.
