c. 139.7 mins

Explanation:

Answer 2

C. 139.7 minutes

Explanation:

To find the answer we have to find the area of the floor and then divide it by how many feet George can clean in a minute.

To find the area, multiply the length by the width.

95 * 50 = 4,750

The floor is 4,750 sq ft. Divide this number by 34 to figure out how many minutes it will take for him to clean the entire floor.

4,750/34 = 139.7

It will take George approximately 139.7 minutes to mop the floor.
