Question

The floor of a ballroom has and area of 2,470 square feet. If the length of the floor is 65 feet, what is its width

Answer 1

2,470 = 65 x width

To isolate the width variable, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 65:

2,470 ÷ 65 = width

Simplifying the left side:

38 = width

Therefore, the width of the ballroom floor is 38 feet.

Explanation:

To find the width of the ballroom floor, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

Area = length x width
