A solid yellow stripe is to be painted in the middle of a certain highway. If 1 gallon of paint covers an area of p square feet of highway, how many gallons of paint will be needed to paint a stripe t inches wide on a stretch of highway m miles long? (1 mile = 5,280 feet and 1 foot = 12 inches)
~$\frac{5,280mt}{12p}$~
~$\frac{5,280 pt}{12m}$~
~$\frac{5,280 pmt}{12}$~
~$\frac{(5,280)(12m)}{pt}$~
~$\frac{(5,280)(12p)}{mt}$~
一加仑对应的是p square feet,是feet 不是inch
t inches * m miles = X *p ft^2
t*m的面积是多少倍的P就用多少gallon的油漆,求X
把inches和miles都转化成ft,乘积就是ft^2
t inches=t*1 inches=t* 1/12 ft
m miles=m* 1 miles =m* 5280 ft
( t* 1/12 ft )*(m* 5280 ft) = X*p ft^2
X ft^2= (5,280 mt) / (12p)
