Remodeling projects require more than just a good design — they involve complex fractions, too. To determine whether a tiling project will fit within a given budget pupils calculate the square footage to determine the number of tiles needed and the total cost. The 12th segment in a series of 22 continues with determining other unit rates involving complex fraction.
