Mr. thompson has been asked to add storage space to a garage. he estimates 6 square feet per individual will be required to meet

the needs of 12 people. if the storage space is 15% of the total amount of space required, how much total space does mr. thompson have? mr. thompson had square feet.

To solve this problem, first let us calculate for the total space of the storage area:

Total storage space = (6 square feet / person) (12 persons)

Total storage space = 72 square feet

 

Since this storage space is only equivalent to 15% of the total garage space, therefore we can write the equation:

(0.15) total space = total storage space

total space = total storage space / 0.15

 

Then calculating for the total space by substitution of the variable:

total space = 72 square feet / 0.15

total space = 480 square feet

 

<span>Therefore Mr. Thompson has a total space of 480 square feet.</span>

PLSS ANSWER MY QUESTION
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1) Area of frame: 140cm^2 ; Area of picture: 40cm^2 ; Total Area: 180cm^2.      

2) Area 1 =  48cm^2 ; Area 2 = 12cm^2 ; total area = 60cm^2 [first answer line : 60cm^2]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. So to answer this question, you have to find the inner photo area first (which you will then subtract from the overall rectangle area to get the photo frame area).

To find area, you multiply length x width. For this question, there are not enough measurements given to initially multiply length and width. So, assuming that the photo is centered on the frame and the frame width is consistent along all sides, you find the difference between the overall length (12) and the picture length (5).

12 - 5 = 7

The leftover area (outside of the picture) is 7 cm (half of seven on both sides), so one side can be assumed to be : 3.5 cm

this means that 15 cm - 3.5 cm of both sides lengths (difference between the two lengths given) is the height of the photo, 15 - 3.5(2) = 8

So, the dimensions/measurements of the photo are 5 cm by 8 cm.

This means that the inner photo area is 40 (5 x 8) cm

The area of the frame will be the area of the total rectangle [12 x 15] - the inner photo area [40].  [ (12)(15) - 40 ]

[180 - 40] = 140 cm

(area is measured in squared units, so the area of the frame should be written as 140cm^{2} ; and the area of the photo should be written as 40cm^{2})

The total area is the entire area of the rectangle: (12)(15) = 180. (This should be written as 180cm^2)

--------------------------------------

2) Finding the area of a shape that isn't a simple rectangle is easier if you separate the shape into smaller rectangles. I will separate the two rectangles into 4 x 12 and 2 x 6 [6 cm would be the remaining side length if you remove the length of 4].

{you can separate the shape in multiple ways, so my answer is only one answer to this problem out of other splits.}

as mentioned, the area is length x width.

4 x 12 = 48.

2 x 6 = 12. Once again, you should write area in squared units.

(the area 1 should be written as 48cm^{2} ; the area 2 should be written as 12cm^2)

you can combine the separated areas (add them) to find the total area. 48 + 12 = 60.

(the total area should be written in squared units also, so the total area should be written as: 60cm^2)

The area of the figure is 60cm^2

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the table, the left and the right side have a pattern. When 3 is added to the left side, the right side is multiplied by 6. Since 12 multiplied by 6 is 72, the missing number is 72.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The actual answer is 348.

4 rectangles with area 60 each, which, when added together, equals 240.

1 square with area 36.

Each triangle face is 18 each, so 72.
