Reid's dining room is 4 yards wide and 7 yards long. Reid wants to install a new wood floor. It will cost $6.59 per square yard. How much will Reid's new floor cost?
$ = yd^2 * $/yd^2
so multiply the area by 6.59
Multiply the length times the width:
4 × 7 = 28
The area is 28 square yards. Now multiply the price per square yard by the area.
$6.59
× 28
5272
+ 13180
$184.52
Reid's new floor will cost $184.52.
To calculate the cost of Reid's new wood floor, we need to find the area of his dining room.
The area of a rectangle can be calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, Reid's dining room has a width of 4 yards and a length of 7 yards.
Area = Length × Width
Area = 7 yards × 4 yards
Area = 28 square yards
Now that we have the area of Reid's dining room, we can calculate the cost of the new wood floor. The cost per square yard is given as $6.59.
Cost = Area × Cost per square yard
Cost = 28 square yards × $6.59 per square yard
Cost ≈ $184.12
Therefore, Reid's new wood floor will cost approximately $184.12.
