Answer:
Multiply 1/4 ; dividing 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that in each number going from left to right, it decreases by dividing 4 each time (or multiplying 1/4)
8/4 = 2 ; 2/4 = 1/2 ; (1/2)/(4) = 1/8 ; etc.
(8)(1/4) = 2 ; (2)(1/4) = 1/2 ; etc.

So what we do first is find out the cost per foot which is 305÷154=1.9805194805194805195
Then we find out the area of the second rug which is 288 feet and multiply that by the cost 1.9805194805194805195. We then get 1.9805194805194805195x288=570.38961038961038961
