Question

Carpet costs $15 per square yard. How much will it cost to carpet a room that is 180 square feet?

Answer 1

900 dollars because 180 square feet is 60 square yards. 60 times 15 is 900.

Answer 2

1 yard = 3 feet

1 square foot = 5

5 x 180 = 900

It will cost 900 dollars to install the carpet.
