Question: 216

4. What gives the number of square feet of tiles needed to cover a rectangular floor that is 3 yards long by 4 yards wide?

  • A. 12 ft2
  • B. 36 ft2
  • C. 48 ft2
  • D. 108 ft2

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The answer is D

There are three feet in a yard, so first convert both measurements from yards to feet: 3 × 3 = 9, and 3 × 4 = 12. To find the area in square feet, multiply the two measurements: 9 × 12 = 108.
