Question 25313: A kitchen measures 5 1/3 yd by 4 1/4 yd. If you purchase linoleum costing $9 per square yard, what will it cost to cover the floor? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5 1/3 = 16/3
4 1/4 = 17/4
cost = cost/yd2 x # yds2
cost = 9.00 x (16/3)x(17/4)
cost = 9 x (4/3)x 17
cost = 3 x 4 x 17
cost = $204
