1 yard= 3 feet
4*3=12 (we do this to find how long the floor is)
10*12=120 (this is in feet, but it needs to be converted to yards)
120/3=40
You need 40 yards of tile
Answer:
[tex]\frac{40}{3}[/tex] square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The length of the floor = 4 yard,
Width = 10 feet,
∵ 1 yard = 3 feet,
⇒ 1 feet = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] yards,
⇒ Width of the floor = [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] yards,
Hence, the area of the floor = length × width
[tex]=\frac{10}{3}\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{40}{3}[/tex] square yards,
∵ The area needed for the floor = area of the floor,
Therefore, [tex]\frac{40}{3}[/tex] square yards of tiles needed.
