Question

Ryan is installing new flooring in his house. Ryan can install 121 square feet of flooring in 3 hours. How much new flooring can Ryan install in 24 hours?

Answer 1

968 square feet

Explanation:

Let x be the new flooring install in 24 hours.

Given:

Ryan can install 121 square feet of flooring in 3 hours.

So, Ryan can install flooring in one hour =
`(121)/(3) feet^(2)`

Ryan can install flooring in 24 hours.

`x= 24* flooring\ in\ one\ hour`

`x=24* (121)/(3)`

`x=8* 121`

`x=968\ feet^(2)`

Therefore, Ryan can install 968 square feet of flooring in 24 hours.
