Question

you want wall-to-wall carpeting in your room, which measures 24' x 1' . Carpeting is on sale for 9.97 per square yard. estimate the cost. round answer where possible.

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we need to convert the dimensions of the room from feet to yards, since the price is given per square yard.

24 feet = 8 yards (since 1 yard = 3 feet)

So the dimensions of the room are 8 yards x 1 yard.

The area of the room is 8 x 1 = 8 square yards.

The cost of the carpeting per square yard is $9.97.

So, the estimated cost of the carpeting would be:

8 x $9.97 = $79.76

Rounding this to the nearest cent gives an estimated cost of $79.76.
