An art class is planning to paint a rectangular mural with an area of 60 square ft. It has to be at least 4 ft. but no more than 6 ft. High. How long could the mural be if the length and height have to be whole numbers?
60 / 4 = 15
60 / 5 = 12
60 / 6 = 10
37feet
To determine the possible length of the mural, we need to find all the factors of 60 that are between 4 and 6.
First, let's list all the factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60.
Next, let's identify the factors between 4 and 6: 4 and 5.
Since the mural length has to be a whole number and must be at least 4 ft but no more than 6 ft, the possible lengths of the mural could be 4 ft or 5 ft.
