First, we find the area of the room. 
12 x 15 = 180 ft2
there are 2 of those rooms, so
180 x 2 = 360 ft2 of carpet

Answer:

Square yards of carpet should be ordered is:

40 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Measurement of  each room=12 ft by 15 ft

Area of each room=12×15 ft²

                              =180 ft²

Area of two rooms=(180+180) ft²

                              = 360 ft²

1 ft=1/3 yd

1 ft²= 1/9 yd²

360 ft²=\(360\times \dfrac{1}{9}\) yd²

          =40 yd²

Hence, square yards of carpet should be ordered=area of two rooms

                                                                                   = 40 square yards
