Your store is 130 ft x 60 ft. The security cameras you are planning to purchase each cover 400 sq ft. You want to cover the whole store. How many cameras do you need? (Round up.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]20\ cameras[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the total area of the store

[tex]A=130*60=7,800\ ft^{2}[/tex]

step 2

Divide the total area of the store by the area that cover one camera

[tex]\frac{7.800}{400} =19.5\ cameras[/tex]

Round up

[tex]19.5=20\ cameras[/tex]

Answer:

20 cameras.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the dimensions of a store as [tex]130\text{ ft}\times 60\text{ ft}[/tex]. We are also told that each security camera covers 400 sq ft.

First of all, we will find the area of store by multiplying its dimension as:

[tex]\text{Area of the store}=130\text{ ft}\times 60\text{ ft}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Area of the store}=7800\text{ ft}^2[/tex]

To find the number of camera it will need to cover the whole store, we will divide the total area of store by the area covered by each camera.

[tex]\text{Cameras required to cover the whole store}=\frac{7800\text{ ft}^2}{400\text{ ft}^2}[/tex]\

[tex]\text{Cameras required to cover the whole store}=\frac{78}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Cameras required to cover the whole store}=19.5[/tex]

Since we can not purchase 0.5 of a camera, so we will round up our answer.

[tex]\text{Cameras required to cover the whole store}=20[/tex]

Therefore, we need 20 cameras to cover the whole store.
