Hello, Great news...YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK! lol
for the construction on the house simply:
Multiply :
40%2A30=1200 So the house is 1,200 Sq. Ft.
Then: Multiply the area of the house by the Price per Sq. Ft.
1200%2A54=64800
So the cost of constrution on a house 40 by 30 ft long is $64,800.


For the question: how many 8 in square flagstones are needed for a patio 14ft long and 10ft wide?
Yes you multiply 14 by 10:
14%2A10=140
So the Patio is 140 Sq.Ft. wide.


Now: Multiply 140 by 12 --so that the area will be in inches--
140%2A12=1680 the patio equals 1,680 inches.


NOW divide 1,680 by 8:
(this is because you need to know how many 8-inch squares are in the 1,680 inch area)
1680%2F8=210
SO, There are 210 8-inch square Flagstones needed.
