Question

An area reserved for a parking lot is 80 feet long and 77 feet wide. The stalls of the lot are at 90° angles to two one-way aisles. Each aisle is 80 feet by 10 feet. The three areas set aside for the parking spaces are congruent rectangles. Each parking space will be 19 feet by 8 feet. What is the maximum number of parking spaces that will fit in the lot?

Answer 1

Answer:

it is 30  

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the parking spot columns are 80 feet long since they go all the way its length.

there are 2 columns which are 10 feet wide so we can talk out the 20 feet of aisle width. that would mean there is 77 - 20 feet of width for parking spots so 57 feet

the spots are 8 feet wide apiece and their width is parallel to the length of overall lot so there is up to 80 feet. So how many times does 8 feet fit into 80 feet. 10 times. So so we can have 10 spots for each row of spots.  

each spot is 19 feet long and there are 3 rows of spots so 19 * 3 = 57. So they fit exactly 3

so we have 3 rows by 10 columns.  

3*10 = 30 apots
