Question

The width of a rectangular room is 60% of its length. The length of the room is 10 feet. What is the area of the room?

Answer 1

Answer:

$60\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the length of the room

y-------> the width of the room

we know that

$60\%=\frac{60}{100}=0.60$

$x=10\ ft$

$y=0.60x$

Find the value of y

$y=0.60(10)=6\ ft$

The area of the rectangular room is equal to

$A=xy$

substitute the values of x and y

$A=10*6=60\ ft^{2}$

Answer 2

The area of the room would be 60 feet. This is because 10 times .60 equals 6 and 10 times 6 equals 60. So the answer would be 60 sq ft. squared.
