OpenStudy (welshfella):
then multiply these to give you the area of the actual bathroom in sq ins
OpenStudy (welshfella):
to convert to sq ft you divide this area by 144
OpenStudy (welshfella):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Vocaloid (vocaloid):
yes

i got 70 and 40
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
right, now find the area
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how?
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
area = (width)*length
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whats the area?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):
you just calculated the width and length
area = width*length
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got 70 x 40= 2800
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
right, now divide by 144
OpenStudy (anonymous):
19 with a remainder of 64
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
right, now round to the nearest whole number

20
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
other way
19.4444 rounded to the nearest whole number is...?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh 19.5
Vocaloid (vocaloid):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
19

Vocaloid (vocaloid):
right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 19 is the answer for sure?
do you know how to check the answer to make sure its right?
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
yes, 19 is the answer
to check your answer, you just need to make sure you multiplied everything right, which you did
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
hint:
the real measures are:
3.5*20=...inches
2*20=...inches
OpenStudy (anonymous):
70 and 40

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
ok!
now 70 inches correspond to 70/12=... feet
and
40 inches correspond to 40/12=... feet
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got 5 with a remainder of 10 and 3 with a remainder of 4
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
better is:
70/12 = 5.84
40/12=3.34
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so the requested area is:
5.84*3.34=...feet^2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
yes! now we have to round off to the nearest whole number, so what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
19
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
thanks!
we have to thank to @Vocaloid for her good answer
