Answer 1

Given :

Rosa is putting carpet in her room. She’s using the scale 1 inch = 3 ft .

In the drawing, the length is 5.5 inches and the width is 3.25 inches. If carpet costs 2.58 per square foot.

To Find :

How much will it cost to carpet the bedroom.

Solution :

Length of bedroom , l = 5.5 × 3 = 16.5 ft.

Width of bedroom , w = 3.25 × 3 = 9.75 ft.

SO, area of bed room is :

`A=l* w\\\\A=16.5* 9.75\ ft^2\\\\A=160.875\ ft^2`

Now, cost to carpet the bedroom is :

`C=2.58* A\\\\C=2.58* 160.875\\\\C=415.0575`

Hence, this is the required solution.
