1. Ian w ants to pu t d ow n tile in his kitchen. Each tile is 1 square foot. A picture of his
kitchen is below , each square is a square foot. H ow many tiles d oes Ian need to bu y?
2. Ian now w ants to carpet three rooms. The carpet costs $4 per squ are foot, the
pad d ing costs $3 per squ are foot, and the installation is free. The d im ensions of the
room s are as follow s: Room 1 is 10' X 12', Room 2 is 5' X 2', and Room 3 is 20' X 15'.
H ow much w ill carpeting these three room s cost him ?
