Question

A room has an area of 121 ft2 but carpeting is only sold in m2. How much carpeting is needed to carpet the room

Answer 1

11.24 sq. m

Explanation:

Note that 1 ft = 0.3048 m.

The area of a room is
`121\ ft^2` and this area needs to be covered with carpet.

Then 11 ft = 3.3528 m

and

`121\ ft^2=11\ ft \cdot 11\ ft=3.3528\ m\cdot 3.3528\ m=11.24126784\ m^2\approx 11.24\ m^2.`

Answer 2

we know that
1 m²---------> is equal to 10.7639 ft²
so
x m²----------> 121 ft²

by proportion
1/10.7369=x/121
x=121/10.7639------> x=11.24 m²

the answer is
11.24 m²
