One fire extinguisher be available for every 6000 square feet Let x the number of fire extinguishers needed for building that has 135,000 square feet. So, the equation that represents this problem is 6000 x = 135,000 Solve for x ∴ x = 135,000 / 6000 = 22.5 Rounding to the nearest greater integer ∴ x = 23 ∴ The number of fire extinguishers needed for building = 23
