A crate containing a puppy weighs 60 pounds, 5 ounces. The puppy weighs 43 pounds, 7 ounces.
How much does the crate alone weigh?

16 pounds, 8 ounces
16 pounds, 2 ounces

QUESTION: 85

A house contains one 12-foot × 14-foot bedroom, one 12-foot × 10-foot bedroom, and one 8-foot × 12-foot bedroom.
What's the total amount of carpeting needed to carpet all three bedrooms?

384 square yards
128 square yards
216 square yards
88 square yards

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Find the area of each bedroom and add them together: 12 × 14 = 168; 12 × 10 = 120; 8 × 12 = 96. 168 + 120 + 96 = 384 square feet. Then, because 3 feet make up a yard, divide the total area in square feet by 3 to determine the number of square yards needed: 384 ÷ 3 = 128 square yards.
