Question

the american with disabilities act of 1990 sets the minimum width of a doorway at 32 inches for wheelchair access. this is about $1\frac{3}{5}$ centimeters long on a floor plan. how many inches does 1 centimeter on a floor plan represent?
drag a number or operator into each box to find how many inches 1 centimeter on the floor plan represents. answer choices may be used more than once, and not all answer choices will be used.
$\square\square\square=\square$
1 centimeter on the floor plan represents $\square$ inches.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed number to fraction

$1\frac{3}{5} = \frac{8}{5}$

Step2: Set up ratio equation

Let $x$ = inches per cm. $\frac{32}{\frac{8}{5}} = x$

Step3: Divide by fraction (multiply by reciprocal)

$32 \times \frac{5}{8} = x$

Step4: Calculate the result

$4 \times 5 = 20$

Answer:

1 centimeter on the floor plan represents 20 inches.
The equation for the drag-and-drop is: $\boldsymbol{32 \div 1\frac{3}{5} = 20}$
