Question

McKenzie has enough paint to paint 108 square feet. She wants to paint her garage door, which has a height of 12 feet. The garage door is the shape of a rectangle. If MAcKenzie has just enough paint to cover the garage door, what is the width of the door?

Answer 1

Answer:

The width of the door is 9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garage door is

Area= height x width

In this case,  we are looking for the width, and we have the data of the other 2 elements

Area is 108,  because she has enough to paint the area of the garage door

Height=12

Width=Area/height

Width=108/12

Width= 9 feet

Answer 2

108/12=9

(You have to divide because you are seeing how many times 12 will go into 108 square feet)

The width of the door is 9 feet!

You can check your answer by multiplying 12 feet times 9 feet.
Your answer will be 108 ft squared! :)

So, the width of the door is 9 feet.

Hope I helped! :)
