3. The are of a parking space is 150 square feet. Will it fit a car that is 12 feet long? Explain. 4.

## Step 1<br />The problem provides us with the area of a parking space, which is 150 square feet. However, the length of the car is given as 12 feet. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />Given that the area of the parking space is 150 square feet, we can find the width of the parking space by dividing the area by the length of the car. <br /><br />### **Width = \frac{Area}{Length}**<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Substitute the given values into the formula:<br /><br />### **Width = \frac{150}{12}**<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Calculate the width.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />The width of the parking space is 12.5 feet. Since the width of the parking space is greater than the length of the car, the car will fit in the parking space.
