Answer

Find out  the  how much flooring does she need and how much will it cost .

To prove

As given

Min Jee is renovating a house.

[tex]The\ living\ room\ is\ a\ rectangle\ 22 \frac{2}{3} feet\ long\ and\ 17 \frac{1}{4}\ feet \wide.[/tex]

i.e

[tex]The\ living\ room\ is\ a\ rectangle\ \frac{68}{3} feet\ long\ and\ \frac{69}{4}\ feet \wide.[/tex]

Formula

Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

Put all in the formula

[tex]flooring\ Min\ Jee\ needs = \frac{68\times 69}{3\times 4}[/tex]

[tex]flooring\ Min\ Jee\ needs = \frac{4692}{12}[/tex]

[tex]flooring\ Min\ Jee\ needs = 391\ feet^{2}[/tex]

As 1 feet = 0.3 yard

Flooring Min Jee needs = 391 × 0.3 × 0.3

                                        = 35.19 yard²(Approx)

As given

The flooring is sold by the square yard for $13.59.

Thus

The cost of the flooring = 13.59 × 35.19

                                       = $478.23

Therefore the flooring Mic Jee needs be 35.19 yard²(Approx) and the cost of the flooring is $478.23 .
