To determine how many windows a contractor can design, we need to calculate the available space for the windows and divide it by the width of each window.

1. Start by determining the total space available on the side of the office building. It is given as 48 feet in length.

2. Subtract the space occupied by the windows at both ends of the building. According to the information given, each window is placed 5 feet from the end of the building wall. So, a total of 5 + 5 = 10 feet will be occupied by the windows at both ends.

Remaining space = Total space - Space occupied by windows at ends
= 48 feet - 10 feet
= 38 feet

3. Next, calculate the space between each window. According to the information provided, the windows are placed 6 feet apart.

4. Calculate the remaining space after accounting for the space between each window. We can calculate the number of intervals between the windows as (n - 1), where n is the number of windows.

Remaining space = Total space between windows = 38 feet - (6 feet * (number of windows - 1))

5. Now, determine the number of windows by dividing the remaining space by the total width of each window.

Number of windows = Remaining space / Width of each window
= Remaining space / 5 feet

By following these steps, you can calculate how many windows can be designed by the contractor on one side of the office building. Substitute the appropriate values into the equations to find the final answer.
