Question

Maria and Stella look into getting a banner congratulating the students. The usable space on the cafeteria wall for the banner measures 50 feet long and 13 feet high. Maria and Stella decide they be can afford a 180-square foot- banner. Will the banner fit in the usable space on the wall?

Answer 1

50 feet by 13 feet is 650 square foot. They can only afford a 180 square foot banner. Yes it can fit but it would be smaller by 470 feet.
