Given:
Apartment buildings are required to have a fire extinguisher every 600 feet.
Height of building = 13,500 feet
To find:
The number of fire extinguishers are needed.
Solution:
Building needs a fire extinguisher every 600 feet.
Height of building = 13,500 feet
So, required number of fire extinguishers is
[tex]n=\dfrac{\text{Total height of building}}{600}[/tex]
[tex]n=\dfrac{13500}{600}[/tex]
[tex]n=\dfrac{135}{6}[/tex]
[tex]n=22.5[/tex]
Number of fire extinguishers cannot be negative.
[tex]n\approx 23[/tex]
Therefore, 23 number of fire extinguishers are needed.
