Question

If a room requires 21.6 square yards of carpeting, what is the area of the floor in units of ft²?

Answer 1

To convert 21.6 square yards to square feet, multiply by 9, which results in 194.4 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a room requires 21.6 square yards of carpeting, and we want to convert this to square feet (ft²), we use the conversion factor that 1 square yard equals 9 square feet.

Therefore, the area of the floor in units of square feet can be found by multiplying the area in square yards by 9.

To get the area in square feet:

1. Calculate the area by multiplying 21.6 square yards by 9.
2. 21.6 yd² × 9 ft²/yd² = 194.4 ft².

So, the area of the floor is 194.4 square feet.
