The cost of cementing a floor of a room 12m by 12m is N9.60. What would be the cost of cementing a floor 24m by 24m at the same rate
umhhh, haven't you quadrupled the area?
So the cost would be .....
Well, that's quite a floor-tunate question! If the cost of cementing a 12m by 12m room is N9.60, then we can use our math clown-culator to figure out the cost of cementing a 24m by 24m floor at the same rate.
Since the area of the first floor is 12m by 12m (144 square meters), and the cost is N9.60, we can find the rate per square meter by dividing the cost by the area: N9.60 / 144 = N0.0667 per square meter.
Now, for the larger floor of 24m by 24m (576 square meters), we can calculate the cost by multiplying the area by the rate: 576 * N0.0667 = N38.35.
So, it seems like the cost of cementing a floor 24m by 24m at the same rate would be approximately N38.35. Just remember to keep those clown feet away from the wet cement!
To find the cost of cementing a floor that is 24m by 24m at the same rate as the previous floor, we can use proportional reasoning.
The first floor has an area of 12m by 12m = 144 square meters. The cost of cementing this floor is N9.60.
Let's calculate the cost per square meter for the first floor:
Cost per square meter = Total cost / Total area
Cost per square meter = N9.60 / 144 square meters
Cost per square meter = N0.0667 (rounded to four decimal places)
Now, let's calculate the cost for the second floor:
Total area of the second floor = 24m by 24m = 576 square meters
Cost for the second floor = Cost per square meter * Total area of the second floor
Cost for the second floor = N0.0667 * 576 square meters
Cost for the second floor = N38.35
Therefore, the cost of cementing a floor that is 24m by 24m at the same rate would be N38.35.
To find the cost of cementing a floor 24m by 24m at the same rate, we need to calculate the area of the floor and then multiply it by the rate.
The area of a rectangular floor can be calculated by multiplying its length by its width. So, for the first floor with dimensions 12m by 12m, the area would be:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 12m x 12m = 144 square meters
The cost of cementing this floor is given as N9.60.
Now, to find the cost of cementing the floor with dimensions 24m by 24m, we need to find its area first:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 24m x 24m = 576 square meters
Since the rate of cementing remains the same, we can calculate the cost of cementing the larger floor by multiplying the area by the rate:
Cost = Area x Rate
Cost = 576 square meters x N9.60 per square meter
By multiplying these values, we can find the cost of cementing the larger floor:
Cost = 576 square meters x N9.60 per square meter
Cost = N5,529.60
Therefore, the cost of cementing a floor 24m by 24m at the same rate would be N5,529.60.
