Answer:
48 in
Explanation:
The length of the rug is 6 feet. We know this must account for 2 sides of the rug, so let's multiply 6 by 2.
6 × 2 = 12
Now subtract 12 from 20.
20 - 12 = 8
Now divide 8 by 2 to find the measurement of the remaining two sides.
8 ÷ 2 = 4.
The width of the rug is 4 feet. The question wants to find the width in inches, however. So multiply 4 by 12 because there are 12 inches in each foot.
4 × 12 = 48
The width of the rug is 48 inches.
