Answer 2

Given: Miguel is putting hardwood flooring in a hallway that measures 5 feet by 18 feet. The wood he has chosen is $5.48 per square foot.

To find: The range of the actual cost of putting the flooring in the hallway.

Solution:

• The area of the floor is calculated using the formula,

        $A = l * b$

• Here, A is the area of the floor, l is the length of the floor and b is the breadth or the width of the floor.
• On replacing the terms with the values given in the question,

        $A = 18ft * 5ft$

            $= 90ft^{2}$

• Since it costs $5.48 per square foot, the cost for 90 square foot will be calculated as follows,

        $5.48 * 90 = 493.2$

Therefore, the actual cost of putting the flooring in the hallway is $493.2.
