Bosnian
( 1 / 4 ) in ∙ 4 = 1 in
1 ft ∙ 4 = 4 ft
1 inch represents a distance of 4 foot.
8 1/2 in = 8.5 in
8.5 ∙ 4 = 34
8.5 inches represents a distance of 34 foot.
OR
( 1 / 4 ) / 1 = 8.5 / x
1 / 4 = 8.5 / x Multiply both sides by 4
1 = 8.5 ∙ 4 / x
1 = 34 / x Multiply both sides by x
x = 34
8.5 inches represents a distance of 34 foot.
1 ft ∙ 4 = 4 ft
1 inch represents a distance of 4 foot.
8 1/2 in = 8.5 in
8.5 ∙ 4 = 34
8.5 inches represents a distance of 34 foot.
OR
( 1 / 4 ) / 1 = 8.5 / x
1 / 4 = 8.5 / x Multiply both sides by 4
1 = 8.5 ∙ 4 / x
1 = 34 / x Multiply both sides by x
x = 34
8.5 inches represents a distance of 34 foot.
