Question

Carpet is sold in square yards. How much carpet would a person need to buy for a rectangular room that has dimensions of 10 yards by 18 feet?
180 square yards
60 square yards
540 square yards
15 square yards

Answer 1

You have to keep in mind that there are two different units. 1 foot equals 3 yards so 18 feet equals 3 yards. Now that both parts of the equation are in the same unit, you can solve.

A = b x h

A = 6 x 10

A = 60 yards

Your answer would be B . 60 yards

Answer 2

180 square yards is the answer because 18x10=180
