cost of carpet for room 13' by 11', cost $11/sq yd

[nae]

you are carpeting a room that measure 13 feet by 11 feet. I fthe carpeting costs $11 per square yard, how much will it cost to carpet the room?

My question is how do i change from feet to yard im not understanding.

 

[arthur ohlsten]

1 yard = 3 ft or 1foot = 1/3 of a yard

13 feet x 11 feet = 143 square feet
13/3 yds x 11/3 yds = 143/9 square yds

at $11 a square yd 143/9 x 11 = 1573 /11
cost = $143 answer

This one works exactly like the other carpeting question you posted a few hours earlier. Which part of the process are you stuck on?

Please be specific. Thank you.
