Answer :
First, we find the area of the room.
12 x 15 = 180 ft2
there are 2 of those rooms, so
180 x 2 = 360 ft2 of carpet
12 x 15 = 180 ft2
there are 2 of those rooms, so
180 x 2 = 360 ft2 of carpet
Answer:
Square yards of carpet should be ordered is:
40 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Measurement of each room=12 ft by 15 ft
Area of each room=12×15 ft²
=180 ft²
Area of two rooms=(180+180) ft²
= 360 ft²
1 ft=1/3 yd
1 ft²= 1/9 yd²
360 ft²=[tex]360\times \dfrac{1}{9}[/tex] yd²
=40 yd²
Hence, square yards of carpet should be ordered=area of two rooms
= 40 square yards
