A wall of a building is 34 inches wide 16 inches is concrete and 4 inches is limestone what fraction of the wall is brick

Respuesta :

Answer:

7/17

Step-by-step explanation:

16 inches of concrete plus 4 inches of limestone come to 20 inches of concrete and limestone combined.  Subtracting 20 inches from 34 inches yields 14 inches.  14 inches of the total wall thickness (34 inches) is brick.  This fraction is 14/34, or 7/17.
