Well first off x times x is squaring whatever the number is while x plus x is just multiplying by 2
The answer would be 1 1/2 think of it as 3-2 and then 5/8 - 1/8
Hey!
You have to divide the total amount she has by the surface area.
Surface area = 2(wl+hl+hw)
That gives you:
The surface area is 126 ft. Now divide the total amount she has by the surface area.
<em>That means she can cover 9 boxes</em>
There are a couple ways to do this, but basically you need to convert the units.
<span>7 yards x 3 ft/yard = 21 feet </span>
<span>4 yards x 3 ft/yard = 12 feet </span>
<span>So the area (in sq. ft) will be: </span>
<span>21 x 12 </span>
<span>= 252 sq. ft. </span>
<span>Alternatively, you can figure the area in square *yards* and then multiply by 9 sq. ft per sq. yard. </span>
<span>7 yards x 4 yards x 9 sq. ft/sq. yard </span>
<span>= 252 sq. ft.
hope this helps :)</span>
