Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, we need to find the total number of 9 feet x 14 feet spaces that can fit into the 7,182 square foot garage.

Let x be the number of cars that can be parked in the garage.
Then, we have:

x * (9 feet) * (14 feet) = 7,182 square feet

Simplifying this equation, we get:

126x = 7,182

Dividing both sides by 126, we get:

x = 57

Therefore, 57 cars can be parked in the garage.
