Frank's house needs new carpets.
the living room is 12 feet long and 13 feet wide. The dining room is 15 feet long and 11 feet wide .How many square feet of carpet will be need?
------------------
For the LR: 12*13 = 156 sf
For the DR: 15*11 = 165 sf
156+165 = 321 sq feet.
Carpet is sold and priced by the sq yard, not the square feet.
