3.If a can of pain cost $14 and carpet cost $2 a square foot,how much money will Allison's parents spend on remodeling her bedroom?

I don't get how to answer all of these

Answer 1

1.
Two walls:
A = L * W
A = 2(11 * 8)
A = 176 sq. ft.

Other two walls:
A = 2 (13 * 8)
A = 208 sq. ft.

Pink:
(176 + 208)/2 = 192 sq. ft/

2.
192/80 = 2.4 = 3 cans of each color

3.
I'll be glad to check your answer.

Answer 2

Whats the 2 for on A = 2(11 * 8) and
A = 2 (13 * 8) ?

Answer 3

The 2 means to multiply. The room has 4 walls; 2 are one size and the other 2 are another size.

Answer 4

* means to divide?

Answer 6

* = multiply

Multiply the number of cans of paint by $14.

Multiply the number of square feet for the carpet by $2.
