Answer 1

The linoleum to order is 30 yards².

Explanation:

Given:

Ordering linoleum for an 18' by 15' kitchen to the store.

The measurements of store are in square yards.

Now, to find how much to be order.

So, 18' by 15' is the measurement in feet and we have to get in yards.

Thus, we convert the units into yards:

1 feet = 1/3 yard.

So, by multiplying with 1/3 we get:

`18* (1)/(3)=6\ yards.`

`15* (1)/(3)=5\ yards.`

Now, getting the area in square yards:

`6\ yards* 5\ yards=30\ yards^2.`

Therefore, the linoleum to order is 30 yards².
