Question

Kitchen tile is $1.25 per square foot . Vivian’s rectangular kitchen measures 8 feet wide by 10.5 long. How much would it cost to purchase tile for her kitchen (please explain how you got it )

Answer 1

You would do 10.5×8 since it is the area of a rectangle. That would get you 84.

You then do 84×1.25 since there is 84 square feet. That would get you 105.

It would cost her $105.
