Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one. Please have a look at the attached photo.

We need to know the size of your bakery store.

As we can see, the entire shopping center is: 45000 square feet and your shop is 1/10 of that space

=> Your shop area is: 45000*1/10 = 4500 square feet

In the question, they want to know how many thirtieths of the space does it take up, so let say thirtieths in numerical is: 1/30

Hence, the number of thirtieths it takes:

`(Area)/(Thirtieths)` =
`(4500)/((1)/(30) )` = 135,000 times

Hope it will find you well.
