Answer is 264
You just multiply at three numbers
1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet
2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3 12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4 The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.
3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3 P= 31 5/6 feet
4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.
5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.
5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7 You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.
