Annabelle Gross · Answer 1

Building B

Step-by-step explanation:

since we want to find "square feet" PER "employee", we have to divide by total square feet by the number of employees [to get unit rate].

Building A:

7500/320 = 23.4375

Building B:

9500/370 = 25.68

Thus, we can see that the number of square feet PER employee is larger for Building B.

So, Building B has more square feet of space per employee.
