Final answer:

To convert 90 m² to square feet, multiply by the conversion factor of 10.764 ft²/m². The result is 968.76 ft², which rounds to 968.8 ft², not exactly matching the provided options but closest to option (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert an area from square meters to square feet, you can multiply the number of square meters by the conversion factor. The question provided states that an apartment has 90 m² of carpeting, and we need to use the conversion factor 1 m² = 10.764 ft². Hence, the calculation would be:

  • Area in square feet = Area in square meters × Conversion factor
  • Area in square feet = 90 m² × 10.764 ft²/m²
  • Area in square feet = 968.76 ft²

When we round this to the nearest tenth as per the options, it gives us 968.8 ft², which isn't an option provided. Looking at the closest options, it seems there's a typo in the options given, as none of them exactly match our answer. However, option (a) is the closest to our calculated value.
