Calculation Summary

To calculate the number of pavers needed and the cost of your patio project, the following steps are taken:

Step 1: Gather the necessary information
- Obtain the width and length of your patio in either feet or meters.
- Determine the width and length of the pavers you plan to use.
- Enter the price per paver.

Step 2: Convert units if necessary
- If the patio dimensions are in meters and the paver dimensions are in feet, convert the paver dimensions from feet to square meters.
- If the patio dimensions are in feet and the paver dimensions are in meters, convert the paver dimensions from meters to square feet.
- If the price is specified per square foot but the patio dimensions are in meters, convert the price to square meters.
- If the price is specified per square meter but the patio dimensions are in feet, convert the price to square feet.

Calculation Steps

Step 3: Calculate the total area of the patio
- Multiply the width and length of the patio to obtain the total area.

Step 4: Calculate the area of each paver
- Multiply the width and length of the pavers to obtain the area of each paver.

Step 5: Determine the number of pavers needed
- Divide the total area of the patio by the area of each paver.
- Round up the result to the nearest whole number to ensure enough pavers are accounted for.

Step 6: Calculate the total cost
- Multiply the number of pavers needed by the price per paver.

Example

Let's say your patio is 10 feet wide and 15 feet long. The pavers you plan to use are 2 feet wide and 1.5 feet long. The price per paver is $2.

Step 1: Gather the necessary information
- Width of patio: 10 feet
- Length of patio: 15 feet
- Width of pavers: 2 feet
- Length of pavers: 1.5 feet
- Price per paver: $2

Step 2: No unit conversion needed in this example.

Step 3: Calculate the total area of the patio
- Total area = 10 feet * 15 feet = 150 square feet

Step 4: Calculate the area of each paver
- Area of each paver = 2 feet * 1.5 feet = 3 square feet

Step 5: Determine the number of pavers needed
- Number of pavers needed = 150 square feet / 3 square feet = 50 pavers

Step 6: Calculate the total cost
- Total cost = 50 pavers * $2 per paver = $100

Therefore, for this example, you would need 50 pavers and the total cost of the project would be $100.

If a city has an area of 100 square kilometers, how many square miles is that?
