A square parking lot has an area of 9640 square feet. If every parking space has a width of 9 feet,
how many cars can park along one side of the
parking lot?

536 cars can park along one side of this parking lot.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide the parking lot's area by 2 to have an even length and width (since the parking lot is a square, each side haas the same length).

9640 ÷ 2 = 4820 ft

Now divide 4820 by 9 (the width of each parking space) to see how many parking spaces, cars, can fit into one side

4820 ÷ 9 = 535.56 ≈ 536 parking spaces for cars

536 cars can park along one side of the parking lot.
