Answer :
Answer: 595 Dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
16 1/2 times 18 1/2 = 305.25
one square yard = nine feet
305 devided by nine 33.9166667 (round to 34)
34 times 17.50 = 595
Answer:
$593
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been that a customer wants to buy carpet for a room that is 16 1/2 feet by 18 1/2 feet in size.
First of all, we will find area of carpet by multiplying both side lengths as:
[tex]\text{Area of carpet}=16\frac{1}{2}\text{ ft}\times 18\frac{1}{2}\text{ ft}[/tex]
Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction:
[tex]16\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \frac{16\times2+1}{2}=\frac{32+1}{2}=\frac{33}{2}[/tex]
[tex]18\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \frac{18\times2+1}{2}=\frac{36+1}{2}=\frac{37}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of carpet}=\frac{33}{2}\text{ ft}\times \frac{37}{2}\text{ ft}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of carpet}=\frac{1221}{4}\text{ ft}^2[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of carpet}=305.25\text{ ft}^2[/tex]
1 square feet equals 0.111 square yards.
[tex]305.25\text{ ft}^2=305.25*0.1111\text{ yards}^2[/tex]
To find the cost to carpet the room, we will multiply area of carpet by cost $17.50 per square yards.
[tex]305.25\times 0.1111\text{ yards}^2\times\frac{\$17.50}{\text{ yard}^2}[/tex]
[tex]305.25\times 0.1111\times\$17.50[/tex]
[tex]\$593.4823125\approx \$593[/tex]
Therefore, the cost to carpet the room would be $593.
