Question

A row of plaques covers 120 square feet of space along a wall. If the plaques are 3 feet tall, what length of the wall do they cover?

Answer 1

Simple,

120 divide it by 3 to get your length.


`(120)/(3) =40`

Thus, it covers 140 ft of the wall.

Answer 2

40 feet of the wall will be covered.

Explanation:

A row of plaques cover an area of 120 square feet of space on the wall.

Height of the plaques is 3 feet then we have to tell the length of the wall that will be covered.

Area of the wall covered by plaques = Length of Plaques × width of the plaques

120 = length × 3

length = 120 ÷ 3 = 40 feet.

Therefore plaques will cover 40 feet of the wall.
