Answer 1

Damia will need 180 square feet of wood flooring to cover 3/4 of her 240 square feet kitchen floor. This is calculated by multiplying 240 by 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to find out how many square feet of wood flooring Damia will need if she covers 3/4 of her 240 square feet kitchen floor. To calculate this, you can use the following steps:

1. Find out what 3/4 of the total area is by multiplying the total area by 3/4.
2. The total area of the kitchen floor is 240 square feet.
3. Multiplying 240 by 3/4 gives 240 * 3/4 = 180.

Therefore, Damia will need 180 square feet of wood flooring to cover 3/4 of her kitchen.
