A piece of carpet is 8 feet wide and 12 feet long. The carpet needs to be reduced by a scale factor so that the reduced carpet is 2 feet wide. What is the area of the reduced carpet?

The carpet's proportions are 8 feet x 12 feet. If the carpet is to be 2 feet wide, we have to divide the original proportions by 4, since 8/4 = 2. So, the new proportions will be 2 feet x 3 feet.

To find the carpet's area, we must multiply the width and the length. So, the final answer is:

Area = 2 x 3 = 6 square feet

fist on the left goes with the third on the right. second on the left goes with the fourth on the right. third on the left goes with the second on the right. the fourth on the left goes with first on the right

answer: the answer is one

step-by-step explanation:

pemdas, in this situation there is no parenthesis or exponents so you go to multiplication, 1x1=1, then division 1/1= 1 then addition 1+1=2 then subtraction 2-1=1
