(ii) The Headteacher is given a formula for working out the number of bikes, \(b\), that can be stored in a bike shed that has a base of width \(x\) metres and length \(y\) metres.
He is told the formula only works when • \(x\) and \(y\) are whole numbers • \(x\) is greater than 3 • \(y\) is greater than 5
The formula is as follows:
\[b = \frac{6xy}{5}\]
According to the formula, how many bikes can be stored in a bike shed 5 metres wide and 8 metres long? Circle your answer. [1]
3 7 42 48 240
A bike shed \(x\) metres wide and \(y\) metres long can hold \(b\) bikes. According to the details the Headteacher has been given, what is the formula for calculating the length, \(y\) metres? Circle your answer. [1]
