Answer:
A. 4.4652 square meters
B. $125.03
Explanation:
A countertop is 16 feet long and 3 feet wide.
A. Calculation for What is the area of the countertop in square meters
First step is to calculate to convert 16 feet long length to meters and 3 feet wide length to meters
Since 1 meter=3.28 Feet
Hence,
Meters=16 feet long /3.28 Feet
Meters=4.88 meters
Meters=3 feet wide/3.28 Feet
Meters=0.915 Meters
Now let calculate the area of the countertop in square meters
Area of the countertop=4.88 meters*0.915 Meters
Area of the countertop=4.4652 square meters
B. Calculation for How much will it cost to cover the countertop with new tile
Total cost=$28*4.4652 square meters
Total cost=$125.03
Therefore How much will it cost to cover the countertop with new tile is $125.03
