33

Answer 4

thanks guys.

Answer 5

well actually 33 won't recarpet the room...

but anyway... what's a hole in the carpet matter....

perhaps you should raise this with your teacher...

you actually need 33 1/3 sq yards

so you would probably order 34 sq yards...

that way there aren't any holes
