Question

Lauren's house is 30 feet wide. its length is 2 1/2 times its width. how long is lauren's house?

Answer 1

You are trying to solve the length of the house. Let x equal the length of the house. The length of the house is 2 1/2, or 2.5 times its width. The width of the house is 30 feet.

Your equation should look like this:
x = 30(2.5)

Mutiply 30 ft. times 2.5 to get 750 ft.

x = 750 ft.

Don't forget to use your unit of measurement in the answer! You are working in feet.

75 FT
