An exercise teacher wants each student in her class to have at least 48 square feet of space on the floor. What is the largest number of students she will allow in a classroom with a student exercise area of this size? A. 20 students B. 24 students C. 40 students D. 50 students

D. 50 students

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the area of the classroom which is worked out below and it is the shape of a rectangle;

Area of a rectangle = Length * Breadth

                                = 60 ft * 40 ft

                                = 2400 ft²

Now to find the number of students that she will allow in the classroom, we have to divide the area of the classroom which is 2400 ft²by the amount of space allocated to each student which will be;

=

= 50

This means she will  allow 50 students into her class.
