Question

A rectangular garage is 12 yards long and 8 yards wide. It costs $1.00 per square yard to put in a new concrete floor. How much would it cost to put a new concrete floor in the garage?

Answer 1

Answer:  96 dollars

===========================================================

Explanation:

Compute the area to get 12*8 = 96 square yards

We can think of it like having 96 squares and each square costs $1. So naturally the total cost is 96*1 = 96 dollars.
