While it was true that the cotton gin reduced the labor of removing seeds, it did not reduce the need for slaves to grow and pick the cotton. In fact, the opposite occurred. Cotton growing became so profitable for the planters that it greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor
Yes, it should be taken into account

Answer:
The width of the similar rug is 3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the percentage between the lengths:
3/9 = 1/3 (percentage)
The percentage is fixed for the widths as well which means 1/x = 1/3
x=3
DE + EF = 4x+2
DE = x+7
EF = 7
Substitute these in
x + 7 + 7 = 4x + 2
x + 14 = 4x + 2
subtract x from both sides
14 = 3x + 2
subtract 2 from both sides
3x = 12
divide both sides by 3
x = 4
substitute this in to find the length of DE
DE = x + 7
(4) + 7 = 11
the answer is 11
