You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1 inch = 7.5 feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you divide the number of fee by 7.5, you will get the number of inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if 7.5 feet, then 1 inch.
\n" ); document.write( "if 15 feet, then 2 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "etc.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16 feet / 7.5 = 1.133333..... inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is equivalent to 2 + 2/15 inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "23 feet /7.5 = 3.066666..... inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is equivalent to 3 + 1/15 inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "on the map, the floor will be 2 and 2/15 inches by 3 and 1/15 inches.\r
