Answer:

48 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rug is 6 feet. We know this must account for 2 sides of the rug, so let's multiply 6 by 2.

6 × 2 = 12

Now subtract 12 from 20.

20 - 12 = 8

Now divide 8 by 2 to find the measurement of the remaining two sides.

8 ÷ 2 = 4.

The width of the rug is 4 feet. The question wants to find the width in inches, however. So multiply 4 by 12 because there are 12 inches in each foot.

4 × 12 = 48

The width of the rug is 48 inches.
