Question

banner one of the banners in a parade is one - third as tall as it is long. it is 5 feet tall. if l represents the length of the banner in feet, what equation could you use to find the value of l? choose the correct answer below. a. $5 = ldiv\frac{1}{3}$ b. $l = 5cdot\frac{1}{3}$ c. $5=\frac{1}{3}l$ d. $\frac{1}{3}=5l$

Explanation:

Step1: Translate words to math

The height is $\frac{1}{3}$ of length $L$, height = 5.
So $5 = \frac{1}{3}L$

Step2: Match to options

Compare derived equation to choices.

Answer:

C. $5=\frac{1}{3}L$
