Question

A building has 217 floors. Each floor has 505 square feet of floor space.

What is the total amount of floor space in the building?

Answer 1

To find the total amount of floor space in the building, you can multiply the number of floors by the floor space per floor.

Given:
- Number of floors = 217
- Floor space per floor = 505 square feet

The calculation is as follows:

\[
\text{Total floor space} = \text{Number of floors} \times \text{Floor space per floor}
\]
\[
\text{Total floor space} = 217 \times 505
\]

Now, let's perform the multiplication:

\[
217 \times 505 = 109885
\]

Therefore, the total amount of floor space in the building is **109,885 square feet**.
