Question 34152
Hello, Great news...YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK! lol
for the construction on the house simply:
Multiply :
{{{40*30=1200}}} So the house is 1,200 Sq. Ft.
Then: Multiply the area of the house by the Price per Sq. Ft.
{{{1200*54=64800}}}
So the cost of constrution on a house 40 by 30 ft long is $64,800.
<p>

For the question: <i>how many 8 in square flagstones are needed for a patio 14ft long and 10ft wide?</i>
Yes you multiply 14 by 10:
{{{14*10=140}}}
So the Patio is 140 Sq.Ft. wide.
<p>
Now: Multiply 140 by 12 --so that the area will be in inches--
{{{140*12=1680}}} the patio equals 1,680 inches.
<p>
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)
{{{1680/8=210}}}
SO, There are 210 8-inch square Flagstones needed.
