it cost $350 to carpet an 8ft. by 10 ft room. at this rate, how many dollars would it cost to put the same carpeting in a 24 ft. by 30 ft. room?
350 * 24 * 30 / ( 8 * 10 ) =
350 * 720 / 80 =
350 * 9 =
3150 $

Well, let's do some math - but don't worry, it won't be as scary as a clown on roller skates!
The ratio of the first room's dimensions to the second room's dimensions is 1:3. So, if the first room cost $350 to carpet, we can use this ratio to figure out the cost for the second room.
If we multiply the cost of the first room by the ratio, we get:
$350 * 3 = $1,050
So, it would cost $1,050 to put the same carpeting in a 24 ft. by 30 ft. room.
Hope that answer didn't clown around too much!
To find out how many dollars it would cost to put the same carpeting in a 24 ft. by 30 ft. room, we need to consider that the cost of carpeting is directly proportional to the area of the room.
The area of the first room (8 ft. by 10 ft.) can be calculated by multiplying the length (8 ft.) by the width (10 ft.), resulting in an area of 80 square feet.
Now, let's calculate the area of the second room (24 ft. by 30 ft.). Multiply the length (24 ft.) by the width (30 ft.) to get an area of 720 square feet.
Since the cost of carpeting is directly proportional to the area, we can set up a proportion based on the ratios of the areas:
Cost of carpeting / Area of the room = Cost per square foot
Using this proportion, we can find the cost to carpet the second room:
Cost of carpeting for the second room / Area of the second room = Cost per square foot
Plugging in the values, we get:
Cost of carpeting for the second room / 720 square feet = $350 / 80 square feet
To solve for the cost of carpeting the second room, we can cross-multiply and solve for the unknown:
Cost of carpeting for the second room = (720 square feet * $350) / 80 square feet
Simplifying the expression yields:
Cost of carpeting for the second room = $3,150
Therefore, it would cost $3,150 to put the same carpeting in a 24 ft. by 30 ft. room.
