Question

a room is 24 feet long,18feet wide and 9 feet high. how many square yards of wallpaper are needed to paper the four walls?

Answer 1

Change 24', 18', and 9' to yards.
Then length x width = area in square feet for a wall. That times 4 walls = ??

Answer 2

i really do not get it can you break the problem down a little bettr so i could get better understanding

Answer 3

As DrBob recommended, first change the feet to yards.
24' = 8 yds
18' = 6 yds
9' = 3 yds

Two walls measure 8 by 3. Each of the long walls is 24 sq. m. Two long walls are 48 sq. m.

Now do the same for the short walls.
