Nolan wants to buy carpet to cover his whole living room, except for the tiled floor. The tiled floor is 4 5\6 ft by 2 1\3 ft. Find the area the carpet needs to cover.

11 5/18 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

because the floor is probably a rectangle, we can use the area formula to find the area of the carpet. the formula is

A = Length × Width

so now we plug in the numbers.

A = (4 5/6) × (2 1/3)

I'm going to simplify the numbers into an improper fraction because the numbers are in a mixed fraction format and I simply dislike it.

A = (29/6) × (7/3)

A = 203/18 ft squared

In the answer section, the numbers look different because I converted my 203/18 into a mixed number.

A = 203/18 = 11 5/18 ft squared
