Question

Samantha is wall papering her bedroom and wants to make sure that she bought enough wall paper. Each wall in her room measures 10 feet by 11 feet. How many rolls of wall paper will Samantha need if each roll covers a total of 25 square feet.

Answer 1

17.60

Explanation:

Look at the room carefully, the length of the room is 11 feet

And the height = 10 feet

The area of the 4 walls of the room = 4( 11×10) = 440 sq ft

Area covered by each roll = 25 sq ft

= 440/25 = 17.60 rolls

Therefore we require 17.60 rolls to cover a rectangular room on all four sides.
