Sebastian wants to buy carpet to cover his whole living room, except for the tiled floor. The tiled floor is 7 1 2 ft by 3 1 4 ft. Find the area the carpet needs to cover.

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{195}{8}\ ft^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The dimension of the tiled floor is [tex]7\frac{1}{2}\times 3\frac{1}{4}\ ft^2[/tex]

Taking the floor in the shape of a rectangle

The area of the tiled floor is given by the product of length times width i.e.

[tex]\Rightarrow A=7\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{15}{2}\times \dfrac{13}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{195}{8}\ ft^2[/tex]
