Question

In South America, the standard width of a parking space is at least 7.5 feet and no more than 9.0 feet. A restaurant owner recently resurfaced the restaurant&rsquo;s parking lot and wants to determine the number of parking spaces, n , in the parking lot that could be placed perpendicular to a curb that is 135 feet long, based on the standard width of a parking space. Which of the following describes all the possible values of n ?

Accepted Answer

Choice D is correct. Placing the parking spaces with the minimum width of 7.5 feet gives the maximum possible number of parking spaces. Thus, the maximum number that can be placed perpendicular to a 135-foot-long curb is . Placing the parking spaces with the maximum width of 9 feet gives the minimum number of parking spaces. Thus, the minimum number that can be placed perpendicular to a 135-foot-long curb is . Therefore, if n is the number of parking spaces in the lot, the range of possible values for n is . Choices A and C are incorrect. These choices equate the length of the curb with the maximum possible number of parking spaces. Choice B is incorrect. This is the range of possible values for the width of a parking space instead of the range of possible values for the number of parking spaces.
