Question

Sue bought 54 ft of lumber for building a window frame each window frame requires 13 1/2 feet of lumber how many window frames how many window frames can she make

Answer 1

The correct answer is 4 window frames.

Explanation:

Sue bought 54 feet of lumber for building window frame.

Each window frame requires 13 1/2 feet =
`(27)/(2)` feet of lumber.

Therefore the number of window frames Sue can make with 54 feet of lumbers she bought is given by dividing the total amount of lumber she has by the lumber it takes to make a single window frame.

=
`(54)/(27)` × 2 = 2 × 2 = 4

Thus Sue can make 4 window pane from 54 feet of lumber, each of 13 and a half feet.
