Question

A room is 20 1/2 feet by 15 3/5 feet. How Many. Square feet of the floor are carpeted?

Answer 1

`36.1` square feet of floor was carpeted.

Explanation:

Number of Square feet = Length of the room * Width of the room

Now we have to substitute the values to the above equation,

Number of square feet =
`20(1)/(2) *15(3)/(5)`

=
`(41)/(2) +(78)/(5)`

=
`(205+156)/(10)`

=
`(361)/(10)`

=
`36.1` feet
