Question

1. george is a fast worker. he can mop 50 ft² in 1 minute. the court is shaped like a rectangle. it is 95 ft long by 50 ft wide. how many minutes will it take george to mop the gym floor?

4,750 minutes
190 minutes
95 minutes
3958.3 minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area of the gym floor

The area \(A\) of a rectangle is given by \(A = length\times width\). Here, \(length = 95\) ft and \(width = 50\) ft. So, \(A=95\times50 = 4750\) \(ft^{2}\).

Step2: Calculate the time taken

If George can mop \(50\) \(ft^{2}\) in \(1\) minute, then the time \(t\) (in minutes) to mop \(4750\) \(ft^{2}\) is \(t=\frac{4750}{50}\).

$$t=\frac{4750}{50}=95$$

Answer:

95 minutes
