Question

Matilda measures the perimeter of her bedroom to determine how many feet of border she needs to go around the tops of the walls.
Two walls are each 96 inches long, and two walls are each 3 yards long. She pays $30 for border that costs $1 per foot.
What are steps that you should take to determine if Matilda bought the correct amount of border? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

The steps that Matilda should take to determine if she bought the correct amount of border are:

• Convert yard to feet
• Calculate the number of feet of border she bought
• Compare the number of feet  of border Maltida bought to the the perimeter of the room.

Did Maltida buy the correct amount of border?

The first step is to convert inches to feet

1 inch = 1/12 feet

96 / 12 = 8 feet

The second step is to convert yards to feet

1 yard = 3 feet

3 x 3 = 9 feet

Now, determine the perimeter of the room: 9 + 9 + 8 + 8 = 34 inches

The fourth step is to determine the feet of border bought: $30 / $1 = 30

34 > 30 thus the border is not enough
