Answer:

There are 19.5 extinguishers needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

One fire extinguisher be available for every 4,520 square feet in a building.

We need to find the value of x if the number of fire extinguishers needed for a building that has 88,140 square feet.

x = (Area of building)/(Area of one fire extinguisher)

So,

x=\dfrac{88140}{4520}\\\\x=19.5

So, there are 19.5 extinguishers needed.
