Question

The Smiths plan to recarpet their family room, which measures 15 ft. by 20 ft. How many square yards of carpet are needed?

does anyone know this

Answer 1

33.33

Answer 2

15ft*20ft=300ft^2
1 foot = 1/3 yard
(1 foot)^2=(1/3 yard)^2
1 ft^2=1/9 yard^2
so we got 300 ft^2 but we want this in square yards
so multiply both sides of 1 ft^2=1/9 yard^2 by 300
300 ft^2=300/9 yard^2
so the answer is 100/3 yard^2

Answer 3

100/3yrds?
