Sign out Fred's bedroom has an area of 54 square feet. The bedroom is 6 times as many square feet as Fred's closet. If the closet is 3 feet wide, what is the length of the closet?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of bedroom = 54 square feet.

Area of closet = Area of bedroom / 6= 54/6= 9 square feet.

Area = length * breadth

9 =  length *3

length = Area/ width

length = 9/3= 3 feet.

As the bedroom is having 6 times the area of the closet we will divide the area of the bedroom by 6 to get the area of the closet ( 54/6= 9) . Area is obtained by multiplying the length and the breadth so we have the width which 3 feet , we divide the area with the width ( 9/3= 3) to get the length = 3 feet.
