The area of a gymnasium floor is 264 square yards. The floor is 11 yards wide. How long is the floor?

A. 11 yards

B. 242 yards

C. 24 yards

D. 253 yards

Let us assume the length of the floor = x yards

Width of the gymnasium floor = 11 yards

Area of the gymnasium floor = 264 square yards

Then

Width * Length = Area

11 * x = 264

x = 264/11

= 24 yards

So the length of the gymnasium floor is 24 yards. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "C".

Its 24 in^2 because you would need to divide 264in^2 by 11in^2 so you can find out the length and 264/11 = 24in^2 and to check my anwser - 11*24 = 264in^2
