Question

1. A rectangular room measures 13 feet by 15 feet. It is going to be carpeted with carpeting that sells for $31.50 per SQUARE YARD. (A square yard is 3 feet by 3 feet, or 9 square feet)... So, this carpet sells for 31.50/9 or $3.50 per square foot. d. How many square yards will it take to carpet this room? Round up to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

The area of the rectangular room = length * breadth

Length = 15 feet

Width = 13 feet

Then the area = 15 x 13 = 195 feet squared.

`(195)/(3.50)\text{ = 55.71 square yards}`
