Question

The area of a gymnasium floor is 264 square yards. The floor is 11 yards wide. How long is the floor?

A. 11 yards

B. 242 yards

C. 24 yards

D. 253 yards

Answer 1

its 24in^2 because you would need to divide 264in^2 by 11in^2 so you can find out the length and 264/11 = 24in^2 and to check my anwser- 11*24 = 264in^2

Answer 2

Let us assume the length of the floor = x yards
Width of the gymnasium floor = 11 yards
Area of the gymnasium floor = 264 square yards
Then
Width * Length = Area
11 * x = 264
x = 264/11
= 24 yards
So the length of the gymnasium floor is 24 yards. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "C".
