What will it cost to carpet a rectangular floor measuring 12 feet by 30 feet if the carpet costs $ 31.95 per square yard?

Work Shown:

3 feet = 1 yard

12 feet = 4 yards (multiply both sides by 4)

30 feet = 10 yards (multiply both sides of the original equation by 10)

The carpet is 12 feet by 30 feet. This is the same as saying the carpet is 4 yards by 10 yards

Multiply the new length and width to get...

A = L*W

A = 10*4

A = 40

The area is 40 square yards. Multiply this by the cost per square yard (31.95) to get the total cost in dollars

40*31.95 = 1278

sorry, i can't understand your question. will later if you describe more clearly!

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
