Question

You have 270 ft^2 of carpet. You want to install carpeting in a room that is 20 ft long and 15 ft wide. Do you have enough carpet? Explain how you know. (1pt)

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

20 ft*15 ft=300 ft^2

you need to cover 300 ft^2

you only have 270 ft^2

so you can't cover it

Answer 2

Answer: No, there isn't enough carpet

Step-by-step explanation:

The room is 20 feet by 15 feet. The floor area is length*width = 20*15 = 300 square feet, which is larger than the 270 sq ft of carpet you have available. Therefore, you don't have enough carpet. The amount needed is 300-270 = 30 sq ft
