For this you have to find the area.
To find the area you multiply the width by the length. 
You multiply 12 by 8 and you get 96. 
Did you notice that it said SQUARE YARDS OF CARPET , we have convert 96 feet to yards. 
1 yard= 3 feet
So you divide 96 by 3 and you get 32.
Amy needs 32 square yards of carpet to complete the room.
