The answer is 80.

Explanation:

30 x 24 equals 720.

We are looking for square yard.

720 divided by 9 equals 80.

1 square yard equals 9 square feet!

Answer 2

First you would multiply 30 by 24 to find the area of the waiting room.

30 x 24 = 720

Then you would divide 720 by 3 because we know there are 3 feet in 1 yard.

720/3 = 240

So the office would need 240 square yards of carpeting.
