Question

HELP !!!!! Tyler is laying carpet in a 20 by 15 square foot room. How many yards of carpet will it take for him to cover the whole room

Answer 1

33.33 square yards

Explanation:

Recall that 1 yd = 3ft.

(20 ft)(15 ft) = 300 ft^2

Converting this to square yards, we multiply the above result by

(1 yd)^2

------------

(3 ft)^2

obtaining

(300 ft^2) (1 yd)^2

-------------- * ------------- = 33.33 square yards

1 9 ft^ 2
