Question

The volume of a room is 1,258 3/5 cubic meters.The height is the room is 11 3/5 meters.What is the area of the floor?

Answer 1

The volume can be found with this general formula:

V = area·height

To solve for area, divide height from both sides to get the area by itself:

V ÷ height = area

We know our values for the volume and height. Plug them into this equation:

V = 1,258 3/5

height = 11 3/5

1,258 3/5 ÷ 11 3/5 = 108.5

The area of the floor is 108.5 square meters.
