Answer 2

To determine the total area of carpet needed for the room, we can multiply the length and width of the room. So, for a 37ft by 16ft room, the total area would be 37ft x 16ft = 592 square feet.

To calculate the cost of carpeting the room at $6.45 per square foot installed, we can multiply the total area by the cost per square foot. So, the cost would be 592 square feet x $6.45 = $3,817.40.

Therefore, it would cost approximately $3,817.40 to carpet the room.

Answer 3

area of the room
\[=37\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\times 16=\frac{ 149 }{ 4}\times 16=596 ~sq.ft\]
width of carpet =596 sq.ft.
length of carpet
\[=596\div 12=\frac{ 149 }{ 3 }=49 \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }~ft\]
so he has to buy 50 ft long and 12 ft wide.
or he needs to buy 600 sq. ft.
