Camille's kitchen has an area of 80 square feet. The kitchen is 8 times as many square feet as Camille's pantry. If the pantry is 2 feet wide, what is the length of the pantry? First find the area of the pantry. Solve on paper and check you answer on Zearn. The area of the pantry is square ft.

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

16 is the absolute value
