The area of the room is 147.5 square feet so Michelle's reasoning was incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To calculate the area of the given room, we divide the unknown shape into known shapes.
The room's shape is made of 2 rectangles.
The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its width.
One rectangle has a length of 10 feet and a width of 12 1/2 feet.
The other rectangle has a length of 15 - 10 = 5 feet and a width of 4 1/2 feet.
Step 2:
The area of the first rectangle = (10)(12 1/2) = (10)(12.5) = 125 square feet.
The area of the second rectangle (10)(4 1/2) = (5)(4.5) = 22.5 square feet.
The total area of the room = 125 + 22.5 = 147.5 square feet.

To find out how many quarts there are in 40 gallons, we simply need to know how many quarts there are in one gallon. As the name implies, there are 4 quarts in one gallon, so we simply need to multiply 4 * 40 to find the amount of quarts in 40 gallons.
4 * 40 = 160
There are 160 quarts in 40 gallons.
Hope that helped! =)
