Answer 1

The floor of the room measures 13feet 3inches by 11feet 5inches.what is the total area of the room in square feet .

length of the flloor of the room

=13feet3inches

convert inches to feet :
-----------------------------

1feet = 12inches, and 1 inch = 1/12 feet

13feet + 3/12 feet = 13 + 0.25 = 13.25 feet

length of the floor = 13.25feet

breadth = 11 feet5 inches

= 11 feet+ 5/ 12 feet

= 11feet + 0.41667=11.41667 feet

Find the area of the floor:
----------------------------------

Area of the floor =length × breadth

= 13.25×11.41667 =151.2 feet^2

therefore, area of the floor of the room = 151.2 feet^2

Answer : area = 151.2 square feet
