Question

the couch in the living room of angelas dollhouse is 6 centimeters long. the couch in angelas real living room is 8 feet long. what is the unit rate that compares the length of the couch in the living room to the length of the couch in the dollhouse? enter your answer, as a mixed number in simplest form, by filling in the boxes. \boxed{\dfrac{\boxed{}}{\boxed{}}} ft/cm

Explanation:

Step1: Set up unit rate ratio

We need to compare the real couch length to the dollhouse couch length, so we calculate $\frac{\text{Real couch length}}{\text{Dollhouse couch length}} = \frac{8}{6}$ ft/cm

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Simplify $\frac{8}{6}$ to $\frac{4}{3}$, then convert to a mixed number: $\frac{4}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3}$

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{3}$ ft/cm
