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

B. 2 1/2 feet. multiply 2.5 inches by 12 to get thirty inches then divide by 12 to get 2.5 feet
