Answer:
a. $160
b. $894
Explanation:
according the the info we have, each square is 1/4 of an inch. so 4 squares would equal one inch (1/4 x 4 = 1). and one inch is a scale of 16 feet. to find the length of one square:
1 inch = 4 squares
4 squares = 16 feet
1 square = 1/4 of an inch
1/4 of an inch = 1/4 of 4 squares
1 square = 1/4 of 16 feet {1 square = 1/4 of an inch and 4 squares = 16 feet}
1 square = 4 square feet
a. count the number of squares: 8
now find the number of square feet 8 squares are using the conversion:
8 x 4 = 32
the bathroom is 32 square feet
one square foot of tile costs $5
now find the cost of 32 square feet:
$5 x 32 = $160
b. the square feet of the bathroom in 32 sqft
now do the same thing before for the living room:
28 square, so the living room is 112 (because 1 square = 4 square feet)
the find the cost of carpet per square foot, divide the cost per yard by 3 (1 yard = 3 feet)
18/3 = 6
so one square foot of carpet costs $6
now find the cost to carpet the bathroom and living room:
$6 x 32 = $192
$6 x 112 = $672
the total cost is
$672 + $192 = $894
the total cost to carpet the bathroom and living room is $894
p.s. who carpets their bathroom? lol
