First question:
The room is 15 feet by 12 feet, so to find the area of the room we multiply the length by the width:
15 feet x 12 feet = 180 square feet
To convert square feet to square yards, we divide by 9:
180 square feet รท 9 = 20 square yards
Therefore, Mrs. Diaz will need 20 square yards of carpet for her living room.
Second question:
We know that Mrs. Diaz needs 20 square yards of carpet. If the price is $15.99 per square yard, we can find the total cost by multiplying the price by the number of square yards:
20 square yards x $15.99 per square yard = $319.80
Therefore, Mrs. Diaz will have to pay $319.80 for new carpet in her living room.

or just 5 yards * 4 yards = 20 yards^2
