The warehouse of the Alpha Distribution
Company measures 450 feet by 300 feet. If
65% of the floor space is covered, how many square feet are NOT covered?
The total floor space of the warehouse is 450 feet * 300 feet = <<450*300=135000>>135,000 square feet.
65% of the floor space is covered, so the area covered is 135,000 square feet * 0.65 = <<135000*0.65=87750>>87,750 square feet.
Therefore, the area NOT covered is 135,000 square feet - 87,750 square feet = <<135000-87750=47250>>47,250 square feet. Answer: \boxed{47,250}.
To find out how many square feet are NOT covered in the warehouse, we first need to calculate the total floor space.
The warehouse measures 450 feet by 300 feet.
So, the total floor space of the warehouse is:
450 feet * 300 feet = 135,000 square feet
Now, we need to calculate 65% of the total floor space that is covered.
To calculate 65% of 135,000 square feet, we multiply the total floor space by 65% (or 0.65).
Total floor space covered = 135,000 square feet * 0.65 = 87,750 square feet
Finally, to find out how many square feet are NOT covered, we subtract the total floor space covered from the total floor space.
Square feet NOT covered = Total floor space - Total floor space covered
Square feet NOT covered = 135,000 square feet - 87,750 square feet
Therefore, there are 47,250 square feet that are NOT covered in the warehouse.
To find the number of square feet that are NOT covered in the warehouse, we first need to calculate the total floor space of the warehouse and then find 65% of that area.
The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is:
Area = length x width
Given that the length of the warehouse is 450 feet and the width is 300 feet, we can calculate the total floor area as follows:
Total area = 450 feet x 300 feet
= 135,000 square feet
Now, to find the area that is NOT covered, we need to calculate 65% of the total area using the following formula:
Not covered area = Total area x (100% - Percentage covered)
In this case, the Percentage covered is 65%. To find 100% - 65%, we subtract 65 from 100:
Percentage covered = 100% - 65%
= 35%
Now we can calculate the area that is NOT covered:
Not covered area = 135,000 square feet x (35%)
= 135,000 square feet x (0.35)
= 47,250 square feet
Therefore, there are 47,250 square feet that are NOT covered in the warehouse.
