Answer:

Explanation:

we have 2 area rugs, and each has a length of 4 yards

Rug 1 has a area of 16 square yards, meaning that the width is also 4 yard(L*w=16, where Length=4)

Rug 2 has a Length of L=4 but the area is just 12 square yards, so here we have the width of 3 yards (12/4=3)

the rug number 2 will fit in tucker's bedroom
