Mr. Hawkins is covering a room in carpet. The room measures 14 feet by 12 feet in a rectangular shape. Each square foot of carpet costs $2.90. What is the cost of carpeting the room?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The total cost of adding wallpaper to the room is $487.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, how I got the answer is:

1. The shorter sides of the rectangle are 12 and the longer sides are 14.

2. The formula for a rectangle is A = l x w. The "l" means length and the "w" means width. 14 is the length and 12 is the width. So you should now have A = 14 x 12. If you multiply 14 by 12, you will get 168.

3. Since 1 square foot of carpet costs $2.90, then you should multiply by 168, which will give you $487.20 and that's pretty much it.

Hope this helps! :)
Answer 2
Answer: first lets find the area of the floor.

A=l*w     where l=length and w=width
Plug in the data
A=14*12
A=168ft²

If 1 square foot of carpet is 2.90$, then 168 square feet are...

  1 sqft         168sqft
_______ = ________
  2.90$             x$

Cross multiply
1x=487.20
divide both sides by 1
x=487.20 dollars

Answer= $487.20

How to turn 6/3,5/3 & 8/3 into whole fractions

Answers

Divide the numerator by the denominator.
For the first one, 6 is the numerator. Divide it by 3 which is the denominator. And then only take the whole number from there.
6/3=2
5/3= 1.something but only take the 1
8/3=2.something but only take the 2
Because the whole fraction only wants the whole numbers.
Thanks :)
