Mrs. Diaz wants new carpet for her living room.How many square yards will she need?
So for that question there is a picture of a square that shows 11 yards on the bottom line and 9 yards on the right side.
Also if the carpet costs $15.99 a square yard, how much will it cost?
please explain.
P.S: sorry for writing so much but I really need help.
I'm glad you wrote the entire problem.
First find out the area.
A = 11 * 9
A = 99 square yards
Now multiply 99 by 15.99 to find the cost.
$1583.01?
Right.
You are the best Ms. Sue. Thanks for the help :D
To determine how many square yards of carpet Mrs. Diaz will need for her living room, we need to find the area of the living room floor.
In the given picture, we see a square with one side measuring 11 yards and the other side measuring 9 yards. To calculate the area of a square, we multiply the length of one side by itself. In this case, the area of the living room is 11 yards * 9 yards = 99 square yards. So, Mrs. Diaz will need 99 square yards of carpet for her living room.
Now, to calculate the cost of the carpet, we need to multiply the area (in square yards) by the cost per square yard.
The cost of carpet is given as $15.99 per square yard. So, multiplying the area (99 square yards) by the cost per square yard ($15.99) gives us:
99 square yards * $15.99 = $1583.01
Therefore, it will cost Mrs. Diaz approximately $1583.01 for the carpet for her living room.

You're very welcome.
