Question

Can someone please answer this quick!

It is recommended that one smoke detector be installed for every 500 square feet of floor area in a building. Write an equation to determine s, the number of smoke detectors needed for a building with 7,250 Square feet of floor space.

How many smoke detectors are needed for that building?

Answer 1

s = 7,250/500

Explanation:

If you want a smoke detector every 500 feet you divide the total amount (7,250) into (s) many 500 foot spaces. This means that you could also divide 7,250 by 500 ft to get s or the number of smoke detectors needed.

Answer 2

Equation- 7,250 divided by 500

Answer- 15
