Problema Solution
The band room at June's school is rectangular and has an area of 1200 feet. The width of the room is 30 feet. How long is the room?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the length of the room.
Since the area equals the width multiplied by the length we have:
30x = 1200 divide both sides by 30
x = 1200/30
x = 120/3
x = 40 ft
The length of the room is 400 feet.
