How many square yards of carpet are needed to cover a floor that is 696 square feet?

There are 9 square feet in one square yard, so 696SF = 77.33 Square Yards. However, because carpet comes in different widths, you usually have to buy more than the exact amout to avoid small patches (unless the carpet width fits the room exactly). If the room is 24feet by 29feet, you could probably find carpet that is 12feet wide, resulting in no scraps (two 12 foot sections cover the 24 foot dimension).
