To find the number of offices on each floor (f) in a building with 18 floors and a total of 396 offices, you can set up the equation based on the total offices being equal to the number of floors multiplied by the number of offices per floor.
The correct equation is:
B. \(18f = 396\)
This equation states that the total number of offices (396) is equal to the number of floors (18) multiplied by the number of offices on each floor (f).
The correct equation is:
B. \(18f = 396\)
This equation states that the total number of offices (396) is equal to the number of floors (18) multiplied by the number of offices on each floor (f).
