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 floor area

The area of a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l = 95$ ft and $w = 50$ ft. So $A=95\times50 = 4750$ $ft^{2}$.

Step2: Calculate time

George mops 50 $ft^{2}$ in 1 minute. Let $t$ be the time in minutes. Then $t=\frac{4750}{50}=95$ minutes.

Answer:

95 minutes
