It is recommended that one fire extinguisher be available for every 6000 ft.² in a building right and solve an equation to determine x, the number of fire extinguishers needed for a building that has 135,000 square feet
We are required to have one fire extinguisher for every 6000 ft of space in the building; this means we need to find out how many 6000-ft spaces we have in 135000.
Solving this equation, we divide both sides by 6000: 6000x/6000 = 135000/6000 = 22.5 ≈ 23
