If 7000 bags of palay is to be piled 20-bags high, how many square meters of floor space is needed? (0.23 m/bag)

Sure, here's how to solve the problem:

1. First, determine how many piles you can make. You do this by dividing the total number of bags by the number of bags per pile. So, 7000 bags ÷ 20 bags/pile = 350 piles.

2. Next, determine the space needed for each pile. Since each bag occupies 0.23 square meters, and each pile consists of 20 bags, each pile will occupy 20 bags * 0.23 m/bag = 4.6 square meters.

3. Finally, multiply the number of piles by the space each pile occupies to find the total space needed. So, 350 piles * 4.6 m/pile = 1610 square meters.

So, you would need 1610 square meters of floor space to pile 7000 bags of palay 20-bags high.
