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
