A large pavilion is made of 2.967x10^5 bricks. There are 6.9 bricks per square foot. How many square feet is the pavilion? Write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

To find the number of square feet in the pavilion, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.

Number of square feet = Total number of bricks / Bricks per square foot

Number of square feet = 2.967x10^5 / 6.9

Number of square feet = 4.3058x10^4

So, the pavilion is approximately 4.3058x10^4 square feet in size.
