Answer:
420 inches or 35 feet of trim is needed for 5 desks.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that one desk requires 84 inches, so we need to find out how many inches are needed for 5 desk.
If we know one desk needs 84 inches then we have 1 desk = 84 inches.
To get 5 desk, we need to multiply both sides by 5.
1 desk = 84 inches. (multiply by 5 for both sides)
5 desks = 84 * 5
5 desks = 420 inches
We know now that 5 desks require 420 inches, but many people use feet instead.
There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so we need to divide 420 inches by 12 inches to get how many feet we need.
420/12 = 35 feet.
Hope this helps!
