<u>Answer</u>
192 ft²
<u>Explanation</u>
The rooms measures 12 feet by 8 feet. So it is a rectangle.
The area of a rectangle = length × width
= 12 × 8
= 96 ft²
The area of one room is 96 ft². There are 2 similar rooms.
The area of the 2 rooms = 96 × 2
= 192 ft²
The pattern is to divide by -2 each number left to right.
So 16 divided by -2 is -8, and -8 divided by -2 is 4.
Your Final Answer is -8 and 4.
First make 4 1/2 improper
4 1/2 = 9/2
Divide = multiply reciprocal
9/2 * 5/3 = 45/6
Simplify 45/6
Final answer: 7 1/2
Its probably 4 & 875/1000, 3 & 125/1000....hope this helps
