Question

A rectangular floor is 4 yd long and 3 yd wide. We want to tile the floor with tile sold by the square foot.

(a) Find the area of the floor in square feet.
Use the table of conversion facts, as needed.

Answer 1

Answer: a.) area is 108 sq feet b) get 7 boxes . C) costs $171.50

Explanation:

we know the area is 4 yards by 3 yards

1 yard is 3 feet

4 yards * 3 feet/yard = 12 feet

3 yards * 3 feet/ yard = 9 feet

Area = 12 ft * 9 ft = 108 sq ft

Part a.) area is 108 sq ft

Part b.) we have one box of tiles to cover 16 sq ft

108 sq ft / 16 sq ft = 6.75 boxes

Get 7 boxes of tiles

Part c.) cost?

Each box of tiles costs $24.50

Total cost = 7 * $24.50 = $171.50
