Mr. Hawkins is covering a wall with wallpaper. The room measures 14 feet by 12
feet in a rectangular shape. Each square foot
of wallpaper costs $2.90. What is the cost of
adding wallpaper to the room

The total cost of adding wallpaper to the room is $487.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, how I got the answer is:

1. The shorter sides of the rectangle are 12 and the longer sides are 14.

2. The formula for a rectangle is A = l x w. The "l" means length and the "w" means width. 14 is the length and 12 is the width. So you should now have A = 14 x 12. If you multiply 14 by 12, you will get 168.

3. Since 1 square foot of carpet costs $2.90, then you should multiply by 168, which will give you $487.20 and that's pretty much it.

Hope this helps! :)

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
