Question 1064327: The building code of an office requires a minimum floor area of 40 square feet per person. What is the minimum number of people allowed to work in an office with a rectangular floor measuring 30 feet by 25 feet?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The area of the office is 30'*25'=750 ft^2.
Divide that by 40 sq ft/person. Units are persons. The number is 18 3/4. Round down to 18 people.
BUT what is the minimum number of people allowed to work is 0. I think they meant maximum number of people allowed.
