A scientist suggests keeping indoor air relatively clean as follows: provide 2 or 3 pots of flowers for every 100 square feet of floor space under a ceiling of 8 ft. If your classroom has an 8 ft ceiling and measures 35 ft by 40 ft, how many pots should it have?

Question

I believe this is the correct way to work on this problem.

10x10=100sqft
2 or 3 pots

34x40=1360sqft
pots=p


2/100 = p/1360
100p =2720
p = 2720/100
Then Simplify

3/100 = p/1360
100p = 4080
p = 4080/100
Then Simplify

Did that help?
