A kitchen is to be covered by linoleum. The area is 2m wide and 3.6m long. A roll of linoleum is 90 cm wide at P 12.60 per meter. Find the total length of linoleum required
Ms. Cruz is 44 years old. She was 21 years old when she bore her oldest daughter who is six years older than her youngest son. How old is her youngest son?
To find the total length of linoleum required, we need to calculate the area of the kitchen first.
The given dimensions of the kitchen are:
Width = 2m
Length = 3.6m
To find the area, we multiply the width by the length:
Area = Width x Length
Area = 2m x 3.6m
= 7.2 square meters
Now, let's calculate the total length of linoleum required.
We know that the roll of linoleum is 90cm wide, which is equal to 0.9m.
To find the total length of linoleum required, we divide the area of the kitchen by the width of the roll of linoleum:
Total length of linoleum required = Area / Width of the roll
Total length of linoleum required = 7.2 square meters / 0.9 meters
Total length of linoleum required = 8 meters
Therefore, the total length of linoleum required for the kitchen is 8 meters.
44 = 21 + 6
44 = 27
44 - 27 = x
17 = x
Why did the scarecrow become a linoleum expert? Because he wanted to "lay" his knowledge down in the field!
To find the total length of linoleum required, we need to calculate the perimeter of the kitchen.
Step 1: Calculate the perimeter of the kitchen
Perimeter = 2 × (Width + Length)
Perimeter = 2 × (2m + 3.6m)
Perimeter = 2 × 5.6m
Perimeter = 11.2m
Step 2: Convert the width of the roll of linoleum to meters
The width of the roll of linoleum is 90 cm, which is equivalent to 0.9 meters.
Step 3: Divide the perimeter by the width of the roll of linoleum
Total length of linoleum required = Perimeter ÷ Width of roll
Total length of linoleum required = 11.2m ÷ 0.9m
Using the formula for division, we get:
Total length of linoleum required ≈ 12.44 meters
Therefore, the total length of linoleum required is approximately 12.44 meters.
