13. Connie wants to paint one wall in her living room. Along the wall, she
counted 60 pieces of hardwood that are each 6 cm wide. The wall is 8 feet
tall. Estimate the area of the wall she plans to paint. Round to the nearest
square foot. (1 foot approximately 30 cm)


Sagot :

Answer:  Approximately 96 square feet

======================================================

Work Shown:

1 ft = 30 cm

1 ft = (5*6) cm

1 ft = 5*(6 cm)

1 ft = 5*(1 board width)

1 ft = 5 board widths

12*(1 ft) = 12*(5 board widths)

12 ft = 60 board widths

12 ft = 1 full wall length

The wall is 12 feet horizontally across and 8 feet tall, so its estimated area is 12*8 = 96 square feet approximately. This is approximate because of the fact we used the approximation of 1 ft = 30 cm.
