Question

The figure shows a blueprint of a dining room, kitchen, and living room. Each square has a side length of 1/4 inch. Carpet costs $19 per square foot. What is the cost of carpet for the living room?

(living room: 4 by 7 squares dining room: 5 by 4 squares kitchen: 5 by 3 squares)
scale factor: 1 in: 16 ft.

Answer 1

8,512 is the answer I’m pretty sure

Answer 2

Total cost to carpet the living room is $8,512.

Explanation:

Living room size = (4*1/4*16)*(7*1/4*16) = 16 ft * 28 ft = 448 sq/ft

Cost = 19 * 448 = $8,512.
