Question

amy wants to carpet a room that is 12 feet by 8 feet. how many square yards of carpet will she need to complete the room?

Answer 1

12 times 8 equals 96. 3 squared equals 9. 96/9=10 2/3

10 2/3 square yards

Answer 2

For this you have to find the area.
To find the area you multiply the width by the length.
You multiply 12 by 8 and you get 96.
Did you notice that it said SQUARE YARDS OF CARPET , we have convert 96 feet to yards.
1 yard= 3 feet
So you divide 96 by 3 and you get 32.
Amy needs 32 square yards of carpet to complete the room.
