Question

Carpect costs $16 a square foot. A rectangular floor is 16 feet long by 14 feet wide. How much would it cost to carpet the floor?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find square feet, multiply the length measurement in feet by the width measurement in feet.

16 x 14 = 224

Now, find how much it costs, there is 224 square feet in total so since it's 16 dollar for every square feet.

224 x 16 = 3584

Answer 2

$3584

Explanation:

- because its a rectangle, the area of the floor is length*width, so 16*14 = 224 square feet

- one square foot is $16, so 224 sqaure feet are 224*16

= 3584
