The height of a certain banner is equal to one third of its length. If the banner is 5 ft tall, write the equation that can be used to find the banners lenghth,L, in feet.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]L=3h[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let height of a banner be [tex]h[/tex], then we know that this is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the length [tex]L[/tex] of the banner; so we have

[tex]h=\frac{1}{3} L[/tex] .

Now we can rearrange this equation to solve for the length of the banner given it's height:

[tex]L=3h[/tex]

So there we have it!

If the banner is 5 ft tall, then it's length will be:

[tex]L=3*5=15ft[/tex]
