Answer:

Miguel needs 1,369/9 square inch of carpeting

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the size of carpeting needed to cover the floor

What we have to do here is to find the area of the bedroom floor

Mathematically, we have this as the product of the dimensions of the floor;

This will give;

12 1/3 inches * 9 1/4 inches

= 37/3 * 37/3 = 1,369/9 square inches
