Answer :
Answer:1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the wall= length ×width=60×60=3600sq .ft
Area of mirror =length ×width = 60×20=1200sq.ft
To get the fraction the mirror covers of the wall.
To find the fraction
The mirror covers the wall
Area of mirror /area of the wall
1200/3600=1/3
The area of a shape is the amount of space it occupies.
The mirror covers 1/3 or 33.3% of the wall
The dimension of the gym is:
[tex]\mathbf{Gym = 60, 60}[/tex]
So, the area is:
[tex]\mathbf{Gym = 60 \times 60}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Gym = 3600}[/tex]
The dimension of the mirror is:
[tex]\mathbf{Mirros= 60, 20}[/tex]
So, the area is:
[tex]\mathbf{Mirror = 60 \times 20}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Mirror = 1200}[/tex]
The percentage covered by the mirror is:
[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = \frac{Mirror}{Gym}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = \frac{1200}{3600}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = \frac{1}{3}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = 0.333}[/tex]
Express as percentage
[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = 33.3\%}[/tex]
Hence, the mirror covers 1/3 or 33.3% of the wall
