I DO REALLY NEED HELP: An architect is planning a city parking lot. For every 12 commuters, the parking lot will need 5 parking spaces. How many parking spaces will be needed by 132 commuters?

Respuesta :

It should be 46. Good luck

Answer:

55 parking spaces

Step-by-step explanation:

Using unitary method:

For every 12 commuters , 5 spaces are needed.

∴ For 1 commuter:

5 ÷ 12 ⇒  [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]  spaces are needed.

∴ For 132 commuters ⇒ [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]  × 132 = 55 spaces.
