Question

Building A has 7,500 ft.² of office space for 320 employees. Building B has 9500 ft.² of office space for 317 employees. Which building has more square feet of space per employee? Explain.

Answer 1

The square feet of space per employee is more in building B .

Explanation:

Given as :

The office space of building A = 7,500 ft²

The number of employee in building A = 320

Let The space in building A per square feet per employee = x ft²

So, x =
`(\textrm office space in building A)/(\textrm number of employee in building A)`

I.e x =
`(7500)/(320)`

∴ x = 23.43 per square feet per employee

So, For building A 23.43 per square feet per employee

Again ,

The office space of building B = 9,500 ft²

The number of employee in building B = 317

Let The space in building B per square feet per employee = y ft²

So, y =
`(\textrm office space in building B)/(\textrm number of employee in building B)`

I.e y =
`(9500)/(317)`

∴ y = 29.96 per square feet per employee

So, For building B 29.96 per square feet per employee

So , from calculation it is clear that the square feet of space per employee is more in building B .

Hence The square feet of space per employee is more in building B . Answer
