Question

Tyra is laying down square carpet pieces in her photography studio. Each square carpet is 1 yard by 1 yard. If Tyra's photography studio is 7 yards long and 4 yards wide, how many pieces of square carpet will Tyra need? *

Answer 1

Studio = 7 yards by 4 yards

Area = 7*4 = 28 square yards.

Area of square carpet = 1 yard * 1 yard = 1 square yard

Number needed = Area of studio / Area of square carpet = 28 / 1 = 28

Number needed = 28
