Amy wants to carpet a room that is 12 feet by 8 feet. How many square yards of carpet will she need to complete the room?

Assuming that the room is rectangle and carpet is rectangle

area=legnth times width

legnth=longer than width

12 is longer than 8

12ft=legnth

8ft=width

now convert to yards

1 yard=3 feet

1 foot=1/3 yard

12 ft times 1/3=4yards

8 ft times 1/3=8/3yards

multiply

area=4 tiimes 8/3

area=32/3

area=10 and 2/3 square yards
