Question

A room is 5 ft. 6 in. by 9 ft. 9 in. wide. How many square yards of flooring are needed

Answer 1

Answer:

5.96 square yards of flooring are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

           1 yard = 3 feet

           1 yard = 36 inch

A room is 5 ft. 6 in  by 9 ft. 9 in  wide.

Length = 5 ft 6 in $=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{6}{36}=\frac{11}{6}yard$

Width = 9 ft 9 in $=\frac{9}{3}+\frac{9}{36}=3+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}yard$

Area = Length x Width $=\frac{11}{6}\times \frac{13}{4}=5.96yard^2$

5.96 square yards of flooring are needed
