8 * 10^3 is larger than 4 * 10^2
10*10*10 = 1000 * 8 = 8000
10*10= 100 * 4 = 400
Answer:
462962.96 naira
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is complicated by the use of two different units. I chose to use inches for the dimensions of the carpet.
200 in long
50 ft wide = 50 x 12 = 600 in.
Area = 200 x 600 = 120000 in^2
A square yard is a square 36 in. x 36 in. = 1296 in^2
Divide 120000 by 1296 to find out how many square yards of carpet you'll need.
120000 / 1296 = 92.59
Multiply by 5000 naira/yd^2 = 462962.96
The answer is given above
