Question

An office building has a total of 1,248 stairs from the lobby to the top floor. If 26 stairs are between each floor, how many floors are in the office building?

Answer 1

There are 48 floors in the office building.

Explanation:

Given:

An office building has a total of 1,248 stairs from the lobby to the top floor.

If 26 stairs are between each floor.

Now, to find the floors in the office building.

Number of stairs in the building = 1,248.

Between each floor number of stairs = 26.

Now, to get the number of floors in the office building we divide number of stairs in the building by between each floor number of stairs:

`Number\ of\ floors\ in\ the\ office\ building=Number\ stairs\ in\ the\ building/ between\ each\ floor \ number \ of \ stairs.`

`Number\ of\ floors\ in\ the\ office\ building=1,248/ 26`

`Number\ of\ floors\ in\ the\ office\ building=48.`

Therefore, there are 48 floors in the office building.
