an electrician needs 2 rolls of electrical wire to wire each room in a house.How many rooms can he wire with 3/5 of a roll of wire.

Respuesta :

Answer:

He can wire [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] of a room with [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of a roll of wire.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An electrician needs 2 rolls of electrical wire to wire each room in a house.

Now, to find rooms he can wire with 3/5 of a roll of wire.

So, we solve by using unitary method:

If, 2 rolls of electrical wire needed to wire 1 room.

So, 1 roll of electrical wire needed to wire = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] room.

Thus, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] roll of electrical wire needed to wire = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{10} \ room.[/tex]

Therefore, he can wire [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] of a room with [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of a roll of wire.
