A rectangular floor that measures 8 meters by 10 meters is to be cover

Number of carpets required to cover the entire floor = total floor area/ area of carpet
= 10x8 /2x2
= 20
Total cost of carpet squares = 20 x 12 = 240 $
Answer B
_________________

No. of Carpets required to Cover the floor = (8*10)/(2*2) = 20

Total Price to 20 pieces @$12 per piece = 12*20 = $240

Answer: option B

Forget conventional ways of solving math questions. In PS, IVY approach is the easiest and quickest way to find the answer.


A rectangular floor that measures 8 meters by 10 meters is to be covered with carpet squares that each measure 2 meters by 2 meters. If the carpet squares cost $12 apiece, what is the total cost for the number of carpet squares needed to cover the floor?

(A) $200
(B) $240
(C) $480
(D) $960
(E) $1,920


The width of the rectangular floor(8 m) is a multiple of one side of the square(2 m), and the length of the floor(10 m) is also a multiple of the side of the square. So the number of carpets to cover the floor is (8/2)*(10/2)=20.

The total cost is 20*12=$240.

The answer is, therefore, B.

8 * 10 = 80m^2
2 * 2 = 4m^2

80 / 4 = 20

20 * $12 = $240

Answer (B)

\(Area of rectangular floor = 10*8 = 80 sq.metres\)

\(Area of small carpet squares = 2*2 = 4 sq.metres\)

\(Number of pieces required for carpeting = 80/4 = 20 pieces\)

\(cost of each piece = $12\)

\(Total cost = 20 *12 = $240\)

\(correct answer - B\)

A rectangular floor with the dimensions of 8 meters by 10 meters needs to be covered by carpet squares. Each carpet square measures 2 meters by 2 meters and costs $12 per square. We must determine the total cost to cover the floor in carpet squares. Let’s start by determining the area of the floor and the area of each carpet square.

Area of floor = 8 x 10 = 80

Area of each carpet square = 2 x 2 = 4

Thus, the total number of carpet squares needed to cover the floor = 80/4 = 20 carpet squares.

Since the cost of each carpet square is $12, the total cost for 20 carpet squares = 20 x $12 = $240

Answer: B
_________________

Area of rectangular floor = 8 * 10 =>80

Area of a piece of carpet square = 2 * 2 => 4

No of pieces of carpet square required is = 80/4 =>20


Thus the total cost of Carpet square required to cover the rectangular floor will be 20 * 12 = $240

Answer will be (B)

Total Price to 20 pieces ($12 per piece) = 12*20 = $240

Area of floor=10*8=80
Area of carpet=2*2=4
So, carpet need to cover the floor=80/4=20 pieces
So, total cost of will be=20*12=240 dollars.
So, the correct answer is B.

The area of the floor is (10 m)(8 m) = 80 m2 and
the area of each carpet square is (2 m)(2 m) = 4 m2•
Therefore, the number of carpet squares needed
to cover the floor is 80 = 20, and these 20 carpet
squares have a total cost of (20)($12) = $240

A rectangular floor that measures 8 meters by 10 meters is to be covered with carpet squares that each measure 2 meters by 2 meters. If the carpet squares cost $12 apiece, what is the total cost for the number of carpet squares needed to cover the floor?

(A) $200
(B) $240
(C) $480
(D) $960
(E) $1,920


Area of rectangular floor = 8*10 = 80
Area of each carpet = 2*2 = 4
Total carpets need = 80/4 = 20
One carpet costs = 12
so, 20 carpets cost = 12*20 = 240

Answer: B

To find the total cost of carpet squares needed to cover the rectangular floor, we need to calculate the number of carpet squares required and then multiply it by the cost per square.

The area of the rectangular floor is calculated by multiplying the length and width:
Area = Length × Width = 8 meters × 10 meters = 80 square meters

Since each carpet square measures 2 meters by 2 meters, the area covered by each carpet square is:
Area of each carpet square = 2 meters × 2 meters = 4 square meters

To determine the number of carpet squares needed to cover the floor, we divide the total area of the floor by the area of each carpet square:
Number of carpet squares = Area of the floor / Area of each carpet square = 80 square meters / 4 square meters = 20

Now, we can calculate the total cost by multiplying the number of carpet squares by the cost per square:
Total cost = Number of carpet squares × Cost per square = 20 × $12 = $240

Therefore, the total cost for the number of carpet squares needed to cover the floor is (B) $240
