Given:

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.

Kitchen cupboard widths are 60 cm.

To find:

The number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres.

Solution:

Let x be the number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres.

Width of 1 cupboard = 60 cm

Width of x cupboards = 60x cm

We know that, 1 m = 100 cm.

Width of a kitchen = 4.2 metres

= 4.2Ă—100 cm

= 420 cm

Now, the width of the x cupboards is equal to width of the kitchen.


60x=420


x=(420)/(60)


x=7

Therefore, the number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres is 7.
