Question 795798: "a contractor is designing one side of one-story office building to be 70 feet in length. the windows are each 5 feet long and will be placed 6 feet apart and 5 feet from the end of the building wall. how many windows can the contractor design?"
Note: I know the answer. What I really want to know is how to proceed to get to the answer. Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Windows begin 5' from each end so
70' - 10' = 60'
the windows on each end just have the 5' requirement
2*5 + 5*6 +4*5 = 60'
therefore the contractor should design 6 windows
