For her semester project, an art student was required to complete an oil painting that was at least 5 square feet in area. If the student wanted to make a painting that was 3 3/4 feet wide, what is the minimum height that it could be?

Question 2

A person prepares a rusty metal fence for painting, completing 4 1/2 feet of fence per hour. When there are 2 hours and 20 minutes left to work in the day, how many feet can be prepared during the remainder of the day? (Hint: 20 minutes is 1/3 hour.)

Answer to Question 1

5 3 3/4 = 5/1 15/4 = 5/1  4/15 = 4/3 = 1 1/3 feet

Answer to Question 2

2 1/3  4 1/2 = 7/3  9/2 = 7/1  3/2 = 21/2 = 10 1/2 feet
