Weegy: Since the carpet is sold only in square meters, [ so the area of the room needs to be converted to square meters from square feet.
We know
1 ft² = 0.09290304 m²
121 ft² = 0.09290304 × 121 m²
= 11.24 m²
So 11.24 square meters of carpet is required.

User: Rich is driving from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh at 70 mph and Michelle is driving from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia at 65 mph. If Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are 305 miles apart how long will it take Rich and Michelle to meet?
A. 2 hours
B. 2 hours 25 minutes
C. 2 hours 15 minutes
D. 2 hours 30 minutes
Weegy: The distance from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh is 305 miles.
Both are travelling towards each other. [ When they will meet the sum of distance traveled by both would be 305 miles, as together they have covered the entire distance between the two cities.
We know that:
Distance = Speed x Time
We know the distance. We know the speeds. Since they are travelling towards each other, the overall speed will be the sum of speeds of Rich and Michelle. So we can say with a speed of 135 mph they have to cover 305 miles.
305 = 135 x Time
Time = 305/135 = 2.25 ...
