Question

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.

Answer 1

Given:

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.

Kitchen cupboard widths are 60 cm.

To find:

The number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres.

Solution:

Let x be the number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres.

Width of 1 cupboard = 60 cm

Width of x cupboards = 60x cm

We know that, 1 m = 100 cm.

Width of a kitchen = 4.2 metres

                              = 4.2×100 cm

                              = 420 cm

Now, the width of the x cupboards is equal to width of the kitchen.

$60x=420$

$x=\dfrac{420}{60}$

$x=7$

Therefore, the number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres is 7.
