Write this statement out as an equation and solve.

Lauren’s house is 30 feet wide. Its length is 2 1/2 times its width. How long is Lauren’s house?

2 1/2 =2.5

W = 30 ft

L = 2.5 * W = 2.5 * 30 = 75 ft

Let's represent the length of Lauren's house as "L" and its width as "W".

We are given that the width of Lauren's house is 30 feet.

Therefore, we can write the equation: W = 30.

We are also given that the length is 2 1/2 times the width, which means L = 2.5W.

Substituting the value of W in the equation, we have L = 2.5 * 30.

Simplifying, we have L = 75.

So, the length of Lauren's house is 75 feet.

To write the statement as an equation, let's represent the length of Lauren's house as "L." Given that the width of Lauren's house is 30 feet, we can write the equation as:

L = 2 1/2 * 30

To solve this equation, we need to convert the mixed number (2 1/2) into an improper fraction.

2 1/2 = (2 * 2) + 1 / 2 = 5/2

Now we can rewrite the equation as:

L = 5/2 * 30

To multiply a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the numerator (top number) by the whole number.

L = (5 * 30) / 2
L = 150 / 2
L = 75

Therefore, the length of Lauren's house is 75 feet.
