.
(35 sq ft window space/180 sq ft floor space)(3600 sq ft floor space)=
(0.1944 sq ft window space/1 sq ft floor space)(3600 sq ft floor space)=
700 sq ft window space
.
3600 sq ft floor space/180 sq ft floor space per window unit=20 window units
(1 window unit=35 square feet)
There are 20 units of floor space requiring 35 sq ft of window space each, for a total of (20)(35 sq ft)=700 square feet of window space.
