an art class is planning to paint a rectangular mural with an area of 60 square feet .It has to be at least 4 feet high but no more than 6 feet high. How long could it be if the length and width have to be a whole number
4 answers
It must be 2 feet wide. 60/2 = 30 feet long.
The factors of 60 are 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
So, which ones meet the requirements? Having the height, you can then figure the length.

mss sue can you show me how to figure this
huh? The height must be 4 or 5 or 6.
Those are the only factors of 60 that are
(a) at least 4
(b) no more than 6
If the height is 4, the length is 60/4 = 15
and similarly for 5 or 6.
