Your answer:

$9 \tfrac{1}{6} \ feet$

Your answer:

$9 \tfrac{5}{6} \ feet$

Your answer:

$7 \tfrac{5}{6} \ feet$

Your answer:

$8 \tfrac{5}{6} \ feet$

Correct answer:

$8 \tfrac{1}{6} \ feet$

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using ratios. There are $12\ inches$ in $1\ foot$ . We can write this relationship as the following ratio:

$12\ inches:1\ foot\rightarrow \frac{12\ inches}{1\ foot}$

We know that the carpenter needs $98\ inches$ of material to finish the house. We can write this as a ratio using the variable to substitute the amount of feet.

$98\ inches:x\ feet\rightarrow \frac{98\ inches}{x\ feet}$

Now, we can solve for by creating a proportion using our two ratios.

$\frac{12\ inches}{1\ foot}=\frac{98\ inches}{x\ feet}$

Cross multiply and solve for .

$12\ inches \times (x\ feet)=98\ inches \times (1\ foot)$

Simplify.

12x=98

Divide both sides by .

$\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{98}{12}$

Solve.

$x=8 \tfrac{2}{12} \ feet$

Reduce.

$x=8 \tfrac{1}{6} \ feet$

The carpenter needs $8 \tfrac{1}{6} \ feet$ of material.
