Question

Please help me with this

Answer 1

If 182 is 20% f the first floor, F, then the first floors area is 910 square feet.

 You know that 182 is 20% of F. So, what you do first to figure out how many times you need to multiply 182 is divide 1 with 0.2 (0.2=20%)

1/0.2=5 

Check

5x0.2=1

Now that you’ve figured that out, you can say that 182 is equal to one-fifth of F, and to get the whole floor you can times 182 by 5.

182x5=910 square feet. (910=five-fifths=equals the whole floor/1)

So, the square area of the floor, F,  is 910 .
