Question

Building A has 7,500 ft.² of office space for 320 employees. Building B has 9500 ft.² of office space for 317 employees. Which building has more square feet of space per employee? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

The  square feet of space per employee is more in building B .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The office space of building A = 7,500 ft²

The number of employee in building A = 320

Let The space in building A per square feet per employee = x ft²

So,  x = $\dfrac{\textrm office space in building A}{\textrm number of employee in building A}$

I.e x = $\frac{7500}{320}$

∴   x = 23.43 per square feet per employee

So, For building A  23.43 per square feet per employee

Again ,

The office space of building B = 9,500 ft²

The number of employee in building B = 317

Let The space in building B per square feet per employee = y ft²

So,  y = $\dfrac{\textrm office space in building B}{\textrm number of employee in building B}$

I.e y = $\frac{9500}{317}$

∴   y = 29.96 per square feet per employee

So, For building B 29.96 per square feet per employee

So , from calculation it is clear that the square feet of space per employee is more in building B .

Hence The  square feet of space per employee is more in building B .  Answer
