Answer 2

The glass cost for all of the window installations is approx. $518.4

Explanation:

The total number of windows in the house = 6

Dimensions of each window = 3 ft by 4 ft

1 ft = 12 inch

Now, AREA of Each window = LENGTH x WIDTH

= 3 ft x 4 ft = 12 sq ft

So, the area of each window in the house = 12 sq ft

⇒ Area of 6 windows= 6 x ( area of each window)

= 6 ( 12 sq ft) = 72 sq ft

So, the combined area of 6 windows in the house = 72 sq ft

Now, 1 sq ft = 144 sq inches

⇒ Combined area of 6 windows in the house = 72 sq ft x 144

= 10,368 sq inches

Now, cost of glass for per square inch = $0.05

So, the cost of 10,368 sq inches = $0.05 x 10,368 sq inches

= $518.4

Hence, the glass cost for all of the window installations is approx. $518.4
