Answer:

$432

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the area of the dining room. The equation for finding the area is Length x Width = Area, so, 9x6=54 square yards.

2. Then, since each square yard is $8.00, multiply 54 and 8 to get $432.

Ruth’s new floor cost $432.

The cost can be calculated as follows.

First, calculate the area of dining room. Use the formula of rectangle area (width x length)

Area = width x length

= 6 yd x 9 yd

= 54 sq yd

Second, calculate the total cost.

Cost = 54 sq yd x $ 8 per sq yd

= $ 432

Hence it cost $ 432 to install the new wood floor.
