Your living room measures 45 ft by 62 ft. The cost of the carpet is $21/square yard. How much will you spend on carpet
45 ft by 62 ft = 15 yards by 20.67 yards
A = LW
A = 310.05 square yards
310.05 * 21 = 6511.05
Therefore the carpet will cost $6 511.05
To calculate the total cost of the carpet, we need to convert the room's dimensions from feet to yards and then multiply by the cost per square yard.
1. Convert the length and width of the room from feet to yards:
Length: 45 ft = 45/3 = 15 yards
Width: 62 ft = 62/3 = 20.67 yards (rounded to two decimal places)
2. Calculate the area of the room in square yards:
Area = Length x Width = 15 yards x 20.67 yards = 310.05 square yards (rounded to two decimal places)
3. Multiply the area by the cost per square yard:
Total cost = Area x Cost per square yard = 310.05 square yards x $21/square yard = $6,510.45
Therefore, you would spend $6,510.45 on carpet.
To find out how much you will spend on carpet, we first need to calculate the area of the room.
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length of the living room is 45 ft and the width is 62 ft.
Area = Length x Width
Area = 45 ft x 62 ft
Now, let's convert the area from square feet to square yards, since the cost of the carpet is given in dollars per square yard. There are 9 square feet in 1 square yard.
Area (in square yards) = Area (in square feet) / 9
So, divide the area calculated in square feet by 9 to get the area in square yards.
Next, we multiply the area in square yards by the cost per square yard to find out how much you will spend on carpet.
Total cost = Area (in square yards) x Cost per square yard
Now you can plug in the values and calculate the total cost of the carpet.
Note: Ensure that all measurements are in the same units before performing the calculations.
