Question

A rectangular floor space in a community center is 40 ft long and 32 ft wide. A volunteer is setting up chairs on the floor space. Each chair needs an area of approximately 4 ft by 5 ft.

Which estimate best approximates the number of chairs that can be set up on the floor space?


A. 20

B. 60

C. 260

D. 320

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

Just confirming for the K12 students ;)

Answer 2

It is B because 40x32=1280 and 5x4=20 then divide 1280 by 20 and you get 64 but you can’t have 64 so you would need to only have 60 so the answer is B
