- Suppose you are installing new carpeting in your dining room, which measures 12.8 feet by 16.75 feet. Since the one carpet place in town only sells carpeting by the square foot, you purchase a 13 foot by 17 foot roll of carpet. After you have finished installing the carpet, you have some unused carpeting material left over. a) What is the relative error for this project? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent. b) If the carpeting you purchased costs $3.79 per square foot, what is the cost of the unused material?

18. Ms. Dunn's class wants to estimate the number of blades of grass in a lawn that is shaped roughly like a 30-foot-by-40-foot rectangle. The children cut 1-inch-by-1-inch squares out of sheets of paper and place these square holes over patches of grass. Each child cuts the grass from their 1-square-inch patch and counts the number of blades of grass they cut. Inside, the class calculates the average number of blades of grass they cut. This average is 37. Using these data, determine approximately how many blades of grass are in the lawn. Explain your reasoning. 22
