A rectangle that is one hundred forty-four inches long and one hundred eight inches wide Part A How can you convert the dimensions of the area rug from inches to feet? Use the drop-down menus to explain. the number of inches by to convert to feet. Part B What is the perimeter of the area rug in feet? Enter your answer in the box. feet

Answer 1

Here is what the answer is: 42 feet!!

How did I get it?; So, first we have to add the 108 + 108 (because there is 2 sides) and then add the 144 + 144 (because there is 2 sides).

Then, you get: 108 + 108 = 216 and 144 + 144 = 288. OK, add the 216 + 288. Afterwards, you will get 504. Then divide 504 / 12 because in 1 foot, is 12 inches.

50 / 12 = 42 feet. (When we go from small to big, we divided and when we go from big to small, we multiply)

I hope this helped :)

Answer 2

42 feet

Explanation:

1) remeber how 1 foot=12 inches

we need to find "x" feet for 144 inches

so

`(1)/(12)=(x)/(144)`

2) cross multiply

144=12x

divide both sides by 12

12=x

so 144 inches is 12 feet, we need to do the exact same thing for the width

`(1)/(12) =(x)/(108)`

108=12x

9=x

the length is 12 feet and width is 9 feet

to find perimeter:

2(l)+2(w)

2*12+2*9

24+18=42

Hope this helps!
