Question

how many square yards of carpet are required to cover a rectangular floor that is 12 feet long and 9 feet wide?

Answer 1

36 square yards.

Explanation:

First, you find the area of the rectangle by using the formula L*W=A, or 12ft*9ft=108ft. Then, you convert the feet into yards by dividing them by three, since three feet make up one yard. 108/3=36.

I hope this helped you! :D
