500 square feet is how many yards of carpet?

55.56 yards of carpeting. Just divide the feet by 9 and that gives you the yards. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above will give you square yards of floor, but you need to know what size the roll of carpet is. Example, if the carpet comes on a 12 foot roll and the room is 10 by 20 (200 sq ft or 22.22 sq yrd) but you would have to buy 12 by 20 (240 sq ft or 26.66 sq yrd). You need to determine the size of each piece of carpet and then figure your squre feet /9.

You have 20 feet wide and 20 feet long floors you are trying to buy carpet for how much carpet should you buy?

Carpet comes in 2 widths 12' and 15' so if you go with 12' carpet then you need 2 pieces...to get it to the look the best with one seam I would get 2 20' pieces. 15' carpet I would order a 20' piece and another 6 foot piece ...that's given that the room is 20' exactly because you need to order extra 3 inches on each wall.. If there is baseboard heat against the walls you want to order enough extra carpet to wrap up and under for the best look. hope this helps

12x6=???? sq feet If they want the answer in Sq Yards divide the square feet answer by 9 to get sq yards.. When carpet is loomed it is physically over 12 feet wide; wider than you need. You will have to pay for the piece you don't need, too. In this example it is cheaper to buy in linear (runnung) yards.

How do you calculate how much carpeting is needed for a room?

The obvious answer is to figure out the total area of the room and then buy an area of carpet equal to this amount. Since rooms often do not match up with standard carpet widths, this can lead to a patchwork of small bits cobbled together to cover the last areas of the room. Choose an area of the room that can be covered with one piece of the carpet. This is carpet area #1. Then determine the fewest large pieces of carpet needed to cover the rest -- even if there is some waste involved. This is carpet area #2. Total carpet purchase is area 1+2.
