Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the pantry = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Camille's kitchen has an area of 80 square feet. The kitchen is 8 times as many square feet as Camille's pantry.

Step 1

Area of Camille's kitchen = 8(Area of Camille's pantry)

Area of Camilla kitchen = 80 square feet

80 square feet = 8(Area of Camille's pantry)

Area of Camille's pantry = 80 square feet/8

Therefore:

Area of Camille's pantry = 10 square feet

Step 2

If the pantry is 2 feet wide, what is the length of the pantry?

The shape of the pantry is rectangular hence:

The area of the pantry = Length × Width

Area of the pantry = 10 square feet

Width = 2 feet

Length = Area of the pantry/Width

Length = 10 square feet/2 feet

Length = 5 feet
