Question

A room has an area of 121 ft2 but carpeting is only sold in m2. How much carpeting is needed to carpet the room?

A. 12.1 m2
B. 11.24 m2
C. 18.76 m2
D. 101.17 m2

Answer 1

Area of the room that needs to be carpeted = 121 ft^2

Since the carpet is sold only in square meters, so the area of the room needs to be converted to square meters from square feet. Most of the information's required to solve this question is already given.

We know

1 ft^2 = 0.09290304 m^2

So

121 ft^2 = 0.09290304 * 121 m^2

             = 11.24 m^2

So 11.24 square meters of carpet is required.
