Answer:

36 sq. cm.

Explanation:

We find area by multiplying the length by the width of the poster. But now, in your question we want to find the length of the poster. We are given the area, 504 square centimeters, and the width, 14 centimeters. Since multiplication and division are inverse operations, we will do the opposite of multiplication, division, to find the quotient, the length of the poster. 504 divided by 14 can be written like this: 504 / 14. 504 / 14 = 36 sq. cm. We can check our answer by multiplying 36 and 14 to get 504. So, we know our answer is correct.
