Answer:

a. 270 square feet

b. 3.75 inches by 4.5 inches

c. $10,260

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular room measures 15 feet by 18 feet. It is going to be carpeted with carpeting that sells for $38 per square foot.

a. What is the area of the room in square feet?

Area of a rectangular room = Length × Width

Length = 15 feet

Width = 18 feet

Area of the room = 15 feet × 18 feet

= 270 square feet

b. If the room is drawn to 1/4 inch represents 1 foot scale, give the dimension of the room in inches on the scale drawing. Please write in decimal form to the nearest hundredth.

From the above question:

1/4 inch = 1 foot

Length = 15 feet

Hence:

1 foot = 1/4 inch

15 feet = x inch

Cross Multiply

x = 15 × 1/4 inch

x = 3.75 inches

For the Width = 18 feet

Hence:

1 foot = 1/4 inch

18 feet = x inch

Cross Multiply

x = 18 × 1/4 inch

x = 4.5 inches

Therefore, the dimensions of the room in inches is

3.75 inches by 4.5 inches

c. What is the total price for the carpeting? _

From the above question, we know that: A square foot of carpet is sold for $38

The area of the room is 270 square feet

Hence:

1 ft² = $38

270 ft² = $x

Cross Multiply

1ft² × $x = 270 ft² × $38

$x = 270 ft² × $38/ 1 ft²

$x = $10,260

Therefore, the total price for the carpeting of the room is $10,260.
