Q. Belle's dining room is 4 yards wide and 9 yards long. Belle wants to install a new wood floor. It will cost $5.00 per square yard. How much will Belle's new floor cost?$_____
Determine Area: Determine the area of the dining room.The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width.Area = Length × Width
Calculate Dimensions: Calculate the area using the given dimensions.Length = 9 yardsWidth = 4 yardsArea = 9 yards ×4 yards = 36 square yards
Find Total Cost: Determine the cost to cover the area with wood flooring. The cost per square yard is given as $5.00. Total Cost = Area×Cost per square yard
Calculate Cost: Calculate the total cost using the area calculated in Step 2.Total Cost = $\(36\) \text{ square yards} \times \$(\(5\).\(00\)) \text{ per square yard}\(\newline\)Total Cost = \$(\(180\).\(00\))
