1yd=3ft, so 1ft=0.33yd

1ft=0.33yd

24ft=?yd

(24ft/1ft)*0.33yd= 8yd

16ft=?yd

16ft/1ft*0.33yd= 5.33yd

Area=LWArea= L*W

=85.33=8*5.33 =42.64yd2=42.64yd^2


alternatively

24ft16ft=384ft224ft*16ft=384ft^2

9ft2=1yd29ft^2=1yd^2

(384ft2/9ft2)1yd2(384ft^2/9ft^2)*1yd^2

=42.64yd2=42.64yd^2

square yards of carpeting that are needed is 42.64yd242.64yd^2
