Answer: 50 square yards

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Kevin wants to cover a rectangular floor that is 15 feet by 30 feet with carpeting.

The first thing to do is to convert the measurement that were given to yards. We should note that 1 yard = 3 feet

15 feet = 15/3 = 5 yards

30 feet = 30/3 = 10 yards

Area = 5 × 10 = 50 square yards
