To find out how many square yards of carpet would be required to cover the floor of the living room, we need to know the area of the living room in square inches. Once we have the area of the living room in square inches, we can use the conversion factor that there are 1,296 in^2 in one square yard to find out how many square yards are needed.
Let's say the area of the living room is 500,000 in^2. We can set up a proportion to find out how many square yards are needed:
500,000 in^2 * 1 yd^2 / 1,296 in^2 = x yd^2
Cross multiplying, we get:
x = (500,000 * 1) / 1,296
x = 385.8 yd^2
Therefore, it would take approximately 386 square yards of carpet to cover the floor of the living room.
None of the given options are correct, as they are all significantly smaller than the calculated value.
