Question

Mr. Leonard is running a solar product company. While working on solar panels design. he realized he has made an error and his designed solar panel will not fit on the roof if its dimensions are not increased by $0.5$ % Calculate the change in dimension of the roof as the fraction of the original dimension .

• A. $\frac{1}{2,000}$
• B. $\frac{1}{200}$
• C. $\frac{1}{20}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{1}{200}$

Change in dimension $=0.5$

$=\frac{0.5}{100}=\frac{5}{1000}=\frac{1}{200}$

change in dimension of the roof as the fraction of the original dimension $=\frac{1}{200}$
