a builder has built 1/6 of the floors of a new skyscraper. If the builder has built 13 floors, how many floors will the skyscraper have when it is finished? Write and solve an equation to find the answer.

Respuesta :

Answer: 78 floors total

Step-by-step explanation:

if 13=1/6

6 x 13=78

Answer:

13*6=78

Step-by-step explanation:

If one part of something is equal to 13, then 6 parts are equal to 13*6. Let us denote that "something" by x, and we get

[tex]x = 6 \times \frac{1}{6} x = 6 \times 13[/tex]

Which is obviously an identity
