Question

Ivan is painting 3 walls in his living room. Each wall measures 9 3/4 feet tall by 14 1/4 feet wide. Ivan needs to estimate the total area he will paint in order to determine the amount of paint to purchase. Which expression best represents the estimated area in square feet that Ivan will paint?​

Answer 1

Answer: 3(10 x 14)

Step-by-step explanation: it said in the question or it's more like a hint: "Ivan needs to estimate the total area" and "estimated area in square feet that Ivan will paint?" those are hints to multiple then numbers kinda like adding but adding more into it.

Sorry if it didn't make sense but 3(10 x 14) is what I got in my information which I had written on a paper to figure out what the answer was to the question!

Have a wonderful day! God loves you.

Answer 2

The estimated area is
`416(13)/(16)\ ft^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

To estimate the area that Ivan will paint , calculate the area of one wall and then multiply by 3

step 1

Convert the dimensions to an improper fractions

`9(3)/(4)\ ft=(9*4+3)/(4)=(39)/(4)\ ft`

`14(1)/(4)\ ft=(14*4+1)/(4)=(57)/(4)\ ft`

step 2

Find the area of one wall

`((39)/(4))*((57)/(4))=(2,223)/(16)\ ft^(2)`

step 3

Multiply the area of one wall by 3

`(3)*(2,223)/(16)=(6,669)/(16)\ ft^(2)`

step 4

Convert to mixed number

`(6,669)/(16)=(6,656)/(16)+(13)/(16)=416(13)/(16)\ ft^(2)`
