Answer: 1650 square feet

Explanation:

So we know that the dining room is 28% of the house, and the dining room is 462 feet.

So we know that the house is bigger than 462, so

The whole house > 462 square feet.

That means we have to divide 462 by 0.28 (Since 28% is 0.28)

462/0.28 = 1650

And there you have it.

1650 is way bigger than 462, so it must be it
