Answer
Find out the how much flooring does she need and how much will it cost .
To prove
As given
Min Jee is renovating a house.
[tex]The\ living\ room\ is\ a\ rectangle\ 22 \frac{2}{3} feet\ long\ and\ 17 \frac{1}{4}\ feet \wide.[/tex]
i.e
[tex]The\ living\ room\ is\ a\ rectangle\ \frac{68}{3} feet\ long\ and\ \frac{69}{4}\ feet \wide.[/tex]
Formula
Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth
Put all in the formula
[tex]flooring\ Min\ Jee\ needs = \frac{68\times 69}{3\times 4}[/tex]
[tex]flooring\ Min\ Jee\ needs = \frac{4692}{12}[/tex]
[tex]flooring\ Min\ Jee\ needs = 391\ feet^{2}[/tex]
As 1 feet = 0.3 yard
Flooring Min Jee needs = 391 × 0.3 × 0.3
= 35.19 yard²(Approx)
As given
The flooring is sold by the square yard for $13.59.
Thus
The cost of the flooring = 13.59 × 35.19
= $478.23
Therefore the flooring Mic Jee needs be 35.19 yard²(Approx) and the cost of the flooring is $478.23 .
