Question 735513: The surface area of a roof with dimensions of 40 feet long by 30 feet wide is how many times the surface area of a floor where the dimensions are 16 feet long by 5 feet wide?

The surface area of the roof is 40 x 30 = 1200 square feet.

The surface area of the floor is 16 x 5 = 80 square feet.

1200/80 = 15

The surface area of the roof is 15 times as large as the surface area of the floor.
