1 answer

To find the height of each floor, we need to divide the total height of the building (1,250 feet) by the number of floors (103).

First, we perform the division:

1,250 feet ÷ 103 floors = 12.14 feet/floor

Next, we round the result to the nearest whole number:

12.14 feet/floor ≈ 12 feet/floor

Therefore, the height of each floor, rounded to the nearest whole number, is 12 feet.
