did you attach it? just askin, i dont see the file!

Answer 7

do you see it now

Answer 8

yes i do, are the measurements in ft and inches, for ex: 3ft and 2 inches right? (3' 2")?

Answer 9

First you would change them to inches then calculate the area:
For K-1 Learning Center: A = (3' 2")(30' 5") = ((38)(365))/12 = 1155.83 sq. ft

Answer 10

i think its 32'

Answer 11

32 ft, right?

Answer 12

example 12'4=12.33
19'4=19.33

Answer 13

ok i am really sorry, but i just need to know if the units are feet or in inches?

Answer 14

they are in inches i think and i have to put them to feet

Answer 15

Well if they are in inches, then calculate the area and then divide the asnwer for each learning center by 12 b/c 1ft = 12in

Answer 16

huh? so they are in ft?

Answer 17

Then first change them to inches, calculate the area for each center, then divide each answer by 12

Answer 18

understand what I am trying to say here?

Answer 19

.555

Answer 20

for the k-1 center?

Answer 21

what am i doing is for example, 30' 5" = 30(12) + 5 = 365

Answer 22

@JakeV8

Answer 23

are you talking about this problem???

Answer 24

So, are you having trouble with getting the area of the K-1 learning center?

Answer 25

yes

Answer 26

Ok :)

The area is Length x Width, right?

So, the drawing shows it as 32 feet on one side and 30 ft 5 inches on the other.

30 ft 5 inches, expressed in feet only (no inches) is 30 5/12 thirty and five-twelfths

Are you planning to use a calculator to get the area? Or do you need to show the work and multiply out the fractions?

Answer 27

yes

Answer 28

Im gonna use calculator

Answer 29

Area = 32 * 30 5/12 = 32 * 30.41666666667 = 973.3333 square feet. You need to round to the nearest whole square foot, so it would round to 973 square feet. (This is for the K-1 learning center)

Answer 30

do you understand how to go from 30 feet 5 inches ...to.... 30 5/12 feet? And then from there to the decimal form, 30.4166667 feet?

Answer 31

12 in=1 foot

Answer 32

yes, right :) so 5 inches is "5/12 of a foot" Just making sure... I wasn't sure where you got confused earlier...

Answer 33

because another person who was helping me with diffrent problem confuse me little bit. It was just like this one but little diffrent

Answer 34

so now i have to find another learning center

Answer 35

can you get the dimensions of that other learning center? what are its length and width?

Answer 36

100x60=160

Answer 37

good try, but you picked the wrong room :)

Answer 38

oh sorry

Answer 39

no worries :)

Answer 40

100x30=130

Answer 41

you're not thinking clearly :) ... it's multiplying, right? Not adding...

Answer 42

L=100 W=30 right

Answer 43

Yes, you're right

and: 100 x 30 = 3000 square feet.

Answer 44

area = length multiplied by width

Answer 45

my bad sorry yes

Answer 46

no problem

Answer 47

So, to summarize so far:
K-1 Learning Center = 973 square feet
Other Learning Center = 3000 square feet

Ready for part 3 of the question?

Answer 48

yes

Answer 49

so we gonna add

Answer 50

973+3,000=3,973

Answer 51

3,973/20=198.65

Answer 52

right. but it's 3973 square feet, right?

And the price of carpeting is measured as $20 per square yard, not per square feet

Answer 53

you fell for their trap :) But that's ok, you'll be ready next time.

They changed the units on you... part 3 is in square yards, but the sum of the areas in the first 2 parts are in square feet, so we have to convert.

Answer 54

ok lets convert them
