The House of Oscar measuring 12m by 16m. He wants to put a new carpet in the house which costs $15 per square meter . How much would it cost to Oscar to the Carpet its house?
12 * 16 * 15 = $___________
Multiply 12 times 16 to get the area in square meters.
then multiply by $15 to get the cost.
Does that make sense?
2880
To find out the cost of carpeting Oscar's house, we need to calculate the area of the house and then multiply it by the cost per square meter.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. So, in this case, the area of Oscar's house would be:
Area = Length x Width
Given that the length of the house is 12m and the width is 16m, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Area = 12m x 16m
Calculating this gives us:
Area = 192 square meters
Now that we know the area of the house is 192 square meters, we can calculate the cost of carpeting the house. The cost per square meter is given as $15. So, the total cost would be:
Total Cost = Area x Cost per square meter
Total Cost = 192 square meters x $15
Calculating this gives us:
Total Cost = $2880
Therefore, it would cost Oscar $2880 to carpet his house.
