Answer:
297 and 298
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a number 1189.
We have to divide this number by 4 and find the quotient that is the two estimates between which the quotient lies.
By rule for divisibility of 4, we have last two digits 8 and 9 , i.e.89 is not divisible by 4.
Hence 1189 is not divisible by 4.
But the greatest below number divisible by 4 is 1188 and
the least above number divisible by 4 is 1192
i.e. the quotients will lie between 1188/4 and 1192/4
i.e. lie between 297 and 298.
First of all, I must assume that the correct cost for carpet is $4.25 per <em><u>square</u></em> foot.
It could be $4.25 per foot if it came of a standard roll, but then I would need to know the width of the roll, which you haven't given.
Area of the room = (15-ft x 14-ft) = 210 square feet
Area of the closet = (4-ft x 8-ft) = 32 square feet
Total area = (210 + 32) = 242 square feet.
Total cost of carpet = (242 x $4.25) = <u>$1,028.50</u> plus pad and installation.
=========================================
You know what ? I think you may have mis-copied the price of carpet altogether.
At $4.25 per square foot, that's <em><u>awfully</u></em> expensive carpet.
I suspect the actual price is $4.25 per <em>square yard</em>. That's pretty cheap, but
it's a lot closer to reasonable than $4.25 per square foot is ($38.25 per yd² !)
If it's $4.25 per square yard, then we need to know that 1 square yd = 9 square ft.
The total requirement is 242/9 = 26 and 8/9 square yard, so you'll buy 27 sq yds.
$4.25 x 27 = <u>$114.75</u> plus pad and installation. That sounds cheap but better.
By the formula for the area of an equilateral triangle (s^2sqrt(3)/4), the area is sqrt(3)/4.
