The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle. In this case, the length (the longer side) is 2 2/3 feet while the width (shorter side) is 1 2/3 feet. To multiply fraction, first convert mixed numbers into improper fractions:
2 2/3 = 8/3
1 2/3 = 5/3
Multiplying the two fractions yield:
8/3 x 5/3 = 40/9 ft2
The final answer is 40/9 ft2 or 4 4/9 ft2.

Answer: Company B
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must calculate the area of the carpet. Variable A represents area.


So the area of the carpet is 168 square feet.
To find what company A will charge we will multiply the 168 by 2.75 they charge per square foot.

Company A charges, $462, while Company B will charge $450 for the one room.
This means Company B has the better price.
3/4 divided by 4 is 0.1875
