How many square feet of carpet will be needed to cover the kitchen and bedroom floors?
237.5 square feet
365 square feet
425 square feet
475 square feet
To determine how many square feet of carpet will be needed to cover the kitchen and bedroom floors, we need to add the areas of the two rooms.
Let's assume that the kitchen and bedroom are separate rooms and do not share any common area or hallway.
To find the area of each room:
1. Measure the length and width of the kitchen floor.
2. Multiply the length by the width to get the area of the kitchen.
3. Measure the length and width of the bedroom floor.
4. Multiply the length by the width to get the area of the bedroom.
5. Add the area of the kitchen and the area of the bedroom to get the total square footage of carpet needed.
Since you have provided four options, we will calculate the area for each choice and determine the correct answer.
237.5 square feet:
It is possible that the kitchen area is 125 square feet (5 feet by 25 feet) and the bedroom area is 112.5 square feet (7.5 feet by 15 feet).
Calculating the total area:
125 square feet (kitchen) + 112.5 square feet (bedroom) = 237.5 square feet
365 square feet:
It is possible that the kitchen area is 225 square feet (15 feet by 15 feet) and the bedroom area is 140 square feet (10 feet by 14 feet).
Calculating the total area:
225 square feet (kitchen) + 140 square feet (bedroom) = 365 square feet
425 square feet:
It is possible that the kitchen area is 200 square feet (10 feet by 20 feet) and the bedroom area is 225 square feet (9 feet by 25 feet).
Calculating the total area:
200 square feet (kitchen) + 225 square feet (bedroom) = 425 square feet
475 square feet:
It is possible that the kitchen area is 150 square feet (5 feet by 30 feet) and the bedroom area is 325 square feet (13 feet by 25 feet).
Calculating the total area:
150 square feet (kitchen) + 325 square feet (bedroom) = 475 square feet
Based on these calculations, the correct answer is 475 square feet.
