Question

a home owner wants carpet two rooms that each measure 12ft by 15 ft. how many square yards of carpet should be ordered?

Answer 1

Hey You!

This question is asking you to find the area of the carpet. To find the area, you must multiply the dimensions together:

12 × 15 = 180

We must multiply 180 by 2 because we want carpet for 2 rooms:

180 × 2 = 360

So, 360 sq ft of carpet should be ordered.
