Question

Roger wants to carpet a rectangular room with length of 8 3/4 feet and a width of 9 1/3 feet. If he has 85 square feet of carpet, how many square feet of carpet will be left after he covers the floor of the room?

Answer 1

Answer:

12.66 $ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dimensions of the room are $8\frac{3}{4}$=$\frac{31}{4}$ and $9\frac{1}{3}$=$\frac{28}{3}$.

The area of the room =$length*width$

Area=$\frac{31}{4} *\frac{28}{3}$

Area=72.33 $ft^2$

The area of the carpet=85 $ft^2$

The area of carpet left= Total area of carpet - the area of the room

The area of carpet left= 85-72.33=12.66 $ft^2$
