Carpet costs $12 per square yard. How much will it cost to carpet a room that is 180 square feet?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

first of all you need to convert yard in feet or inverse feet in yard

OpenStudy (denonakavro):

The first guy is wrong. 12 is in yards but 180 is in feet. 1 yard is 3 feet. So a carpet costs 4 dollars per feet. To find the answer you have to multiply 4 by 180 and you will get 720

thank you

OpenStudy (denonakavro):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

wait @denonakavro your converting everything to feet so wouldn't it be 180 36 feet?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Oh wait never mind :)
