- Calculating the area of the auto body shop to determine the amount of cleaning supplies needed
- Measuring the length and width of the shop to determine the square footage
- Estimating the cost of cleaning supplies based on the square footage of the shop
- Using ratios to mix cleaning solutions in the correct proportions
- Calculating the time it will take to clean the shop based on the size and number of workers
Continued development related to this activity could include:
- Creating a budget for cleaning supplies based on the square footage of different spaces
- Using geometry to design an efficient layout for cleaning equipment and supplies in the shop
- Calculating the cost of labor for cleaning based on hourly rates and the time it takes to clean different spaces
- Using data analysis to track the amount of cleaning supplies used and adjust ordering accordingly
