Question

11. The area of the floor of a gym is 7,168 squarefeet. If the gym is 64 feet wide, how long is it?

Answer 1

Let l be the length of the gym in feet, then we can set the following equation:

`l*64=7168.`

Dividing the above equation by 64 we get:

`\begin{gathered} (l*64)/(64)=(7168)/(64), \\ l=112. \end{gathered}`

Answer: The length of the gym is 112 feet.
