Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, we need to find out how much space one carton takes up: 
4 1/4 sq. ft. = 4 + 1/4 sq. ft. = 4 sq. ft. + 0.25 sq. ft.

So, one carton takes up 4.25 sq. ft.

To find out how many cartons can be stored in 25,500 sq. ft., we divide:

25,500 sq. ft. ÷ 4.25 sq. ft./carton = 6,000 cartons

Therefore, the answer is C) 6,000.
