Question

Jose is installing carpet in his family room. The family room is 24feet long and 15 feet wide. How many square yards of carpet does he need?

Answer 1

Area is length times width. 24 * 15= 360 feet squared

Answer 2

He need 40 square yards of carpet

Explanation:

Length of family room = 24 feet

Width of room = 15 feet

Area of room =
`Length * Breadth`

=
`24 * 15`

=
`360 feet^2`

9 sq.feet =1 sq.yards

1 sq.feet =
`(1)/(9)sq.yards`

360 sq.feet.=
`(1)/(9) * 360 =40 sq.yards`

Hence He need 40 square yards of carpet
