A living room carpet costs $32 per square yard. Find the cost to carpet a room that is 13 ft wide and 20 ft long.
13ft * 20ft * 1yd^2/9ft^2 * $32/yd^2 = (13*20*32)/9 = $924.44
Well, let's break it down. First, we need to convert the measurements to yards. Since 1 yard equals 3 feet, the room is 4.33 yards wide and 6.67 yards long.
Now, to find the area of the room, we multiply the width by the length: 4.33 yards * 6.67 yards = 28.9011 square yards.
Next, we multiply the area by the cost per square yard. So, 28.9011 square yards * $32 = $924.8368.
So, my friend, the cost to carpet the room would be approximately $924.84. But you know what they say, with that kind of money, you might as well hire a clown to entertain you on the carpet!
To find the cost of carpeting the room, we need to convert the room's dimensions from feet to yards.
First, let's convert the width from feet to yards:
1 yard is equal to 3 feet.
So, 13 ft ÷ 3 = 4.33 yards (rounded to two decimal places).
Next, let's convert the length from feet to yards:
20 ft ÷ 3 = 6.67 yards (rounded to two decimal places).
Now, let's calculate the total area of the room in square yards:
Area = Width × Length
Area = 4.33 yards × 6.67 yards ≈ 28.87 square yards.
Finally, let's calculate the cost of carpeting:
Cost = Price per square yard × Area
Cost = $32 per square yard × 28.87 square yards ≈ $923.84.
Therefore, the cost to carpet the room that is 13 ft wide and 20 ft long will be approximately $923.84.
To find the cost to carpet a room, we first need to calculate the area of the room in square yards.
1. Convert the dimensions from feet to yards:
- Width: 13 ft = 13/3 = 4.33 yards (rounded to two decimal places)
- Length: 20 ft = 20/3 = 6.67 yards (rounded to two decimal places)
2. Calculate the area of the room:
- Area = Width x Length
- Area = 4.33 yards x 6.67 yards
- Area ≈ 28.78 square yards (rounded to two decimal places)
3. Multiply the area by the cost per square yard to find the total cost:
- Total Cost = Area x Cost per square yard
- Total Cost ≈ 28.78 square yards x $32/yard
- Total Cost ≈ $922.56 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the cost to carpet the room with dimensions 13 ft wide and 20 ft long would be approximately $922.56.
