3. GODEEPER Louis wants to carpet the rectangular floor of his basement. The basement has an area of 864 square feet. The width of the basement is \( \frac{2}{3} \) its length. What is the length of Louis's basement?
feet
Answer
\[L^2 = 1296 \Rightarrow L = \sqrt{1296} \Rightarrow L = 36\]
Step 1 ：\[\text{1. Calculate total paper clips:}\]
Step 2 ：\[3 \times \frac{7}{8} = \frac{21}{8}\]
Step 3 ：\[\text{2a. Calculate Gabe's work time:}\]
Step 4 ：\[5 \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{16}{3} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{80}{12} = 6 \frac{2}{3}\]
Step 5 ：\[\text{2b-c. Calculate Paula's work time:}\]
Step 6 ：\[5 \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{16}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{48}{12} = 4\]
Step 7 ：\[\text{3. Calculate basement length (L) and width (W):}\]
Step 8 ：\[\text{Area = Length (L) x Width (W), with } W = \frac{2}{3}L \text{, so:}\]
Step 9 ：\[864 = L \times \left(\frac{2}{3}L\right)\]
Step 10 ：\[L^2 = \frac{3}{2} \times 864\]
Step 11 ：\[L^2 = 1296 \Rightarrow L = \sqrt{1296} \Rightarrow L = 36\]
