How Much Wall Cover is Needed?

 Sam is shopping for wall covering. Before coming to the store,  Sam measured the walls of his house and found the following measures. 3 sides are 9 feet high. The 4th wall is a 4 foot serving wall. The length of 2 sides are 14 feet and the others are 16 feet. 

Sam's room also has a door that measures 36 inches wide by 84 inches high. Plus 2 windows that measure 3 feet by 3 feet. 

What is the total amount of wall covering needed to redecorate the room?

Summer Has Come...

 Only 6 school days left, Summer Break is upon us all. Before we go, one more problem to solve. 

If a student has 10 weeks of summer break, how many hours a day should dedicated to a form of reading, writing or mathematics if the goal is to achieve 135 hours over the summer. 

Only consider Monday through Friday. The family also plans to take a vacation out of town for 1 week to be free of work free.
