Question

You are tiling a kitchen floor that is 13 ft. wide by 4 yd. long. How many square yards of tile do you need?

Answer 1

17.32 as a fraction

Answer 2

1732/100 in simplified form

Answer 3

To find the area of the kitchen floor, we need to multiply the width by the length.

The width is given in feet, so we need to convert the width to yards. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we can divide the width in feet by 3 to get the width in yards.

Width in yards = 13 ft / 3 = 4.33 yd (rounded to two decimal places)

The length is already given in yards.

Now, we can multiply the width and length to find the area of the kitchen floor.

Area = Width x Length
Area = 4.33 yd x 4 yd
Area = 17.32 square yards

Therefore, you will need 17.32 square yards of tile to cover the kitchen floor.

Answer 4

To express 17.32 as a fraction, we can write it as a fraction with 100 as the denominator, which is equivalent to multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 100:

17.32 = 17.32/1 = (17.32 x 100) / (1 x 100) = 1732/100

Therefore, 17.32 as a fraction is 1732/100.

Answer 5

To simplify the fraction 1732/100, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by that value.

The GCD of 1732 and 100 is 4. When we divide both the numerator and denominator by 4, we get:

1732/100 = (1732 ÷ 4) / (100 ÷ 4) = 433/25

Therefore, 1732/100 in simplified form is 433/25.
