how many square yards of carpet are needed to carpet a room that is 15 feet by 25 feet?

The number of square feet is 15 x 25.

Divide that by 9 for square yards.

To find out how many square yards of carpet are needed to carpet a room that is 15 feet by 25 feet, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the area of the room: Multiply the length by the width.
Area = Length × Width
Area = 15 feet × 25 feet
Area = 375 square feet

2. Convert the area from square feet to square yards: Since carpet is usually sold in square yards, we need to convert the area from square feet to square yards.
1 square yard = 9 square feet
Square yards = Square feet ÷ 9
Square yards = 375 square feet ÷ 9
Square yards ≈ 41.67 square yards

Therefore, approximately 41.67 square yards of carpet are needed to carpet a room that is 15 feet by 25 feet.

To determine the number of square yards of carpet needed to carpet a room, follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert the room dimensions from feet to yards.
- Divide the length by 3 (since 3 feet make up 1 yard): 15 feet ÷ 3 = 5 yards.
- Divide the width by 3: 25 feet ÷ 3 = 8.33 yards (rounded to 2 decimal places).

Step 2: Calculate the area of the room in square yards.
- Multiply the length (in yards) by the width (in yards): 5 yards × 8.33 yards = 41.65 square yards (rounded to 2 decimal places).

Therefore, approximately 41.65 square yards of carpet are needed to cover the room.
