Question

Ronaldo is buying new carpet for his living room. The length of the living room is 20 1/2 feet. The room is half as wide as it is long. How many square feet of carpet will Ronaldo need to buy?

Answer 1

210 1/8 ft²

Explanation:

The length of the living room is 20 1/2

the width is half as long as the length

(20 1/2)/2=10 1/4

so the width is 10 1/4

A=LW so

A=(10 1/4)(20 1/2)

So A=

210 1/8 ft²
