Question

20. STEM Building A has 7500 square feet of office space for

320 employees. Building B has 9500 square feet of office space
for 370 employees. Which building has more square feet of
space per employee? Explain. Example 2)​

Answer 1

Building B

Explanation:

since we want to find "square feet" PER "employee", we have to divide by total square feet by the number of employees [to get unit rate].

Building A:

7500/320 = 23.4375

Building B:

9500/370 = 25.68

Thus, we can see that the number of square feet PER employee is larger for Building B.

So, Building B has more square feet of space per employee.
