20 feet would be the height of how many stories of a building?

Question

for example, a 20 feet of string would equal a x story building

(x is any number)

Answer 1

Most building would have about 10 feet allotted to each floor: 8 feet for living space (distance from floor to ceiling) and the rest is the thickness of the floor, and the space between the ceiling and the bottom of the floor above which is used to house lighting fixtures, ventilation pipes, water sprinkler, and electrical cables and phone lines.

So, 20 feet would mean 2 stories.

The 10 feet per floor is just a general guideline. There are variations galore.
