Gerard ran out of tile for his patio. The width of the remaining area is 2 and two ninths feet. The length of the remaining area is 7 feet. How much does Gerard have left over to tile. I don't get it my brain is not working please help me

Respuesta :

To figure this out, you have to use the formula for area. A=l×w where l is the length, and w is the width.

l
= 2 2/9 ft.

w
= 7 ft.

First, we should put 2 2/9 into decimal form, as it'll make it easier to
multiply.

2/9 = 0.22

So, 2 2/9 = 2.22

A = l × w

A = 2.22 × 7

A = 15.54

The area Gerard has left over to tile is 15.54 square feet.

Gerard has left 15.33 square feet area to tile.

The width of the remaining area = [tex]2\frac{2}{9}[/tex] feet

The width of the remaining area =[tex]\frac{20}{9}[/tex] feet

The length of the remaining area = 7 feet

What is the area of a rectangle?

The area of a rectangle is the product of length to width.

So, the remaining area = [tex]\frac{20}{9} *7[/tex]

The remaining area = [tex]\frac{140}{9}[/tex] square feet

The remaining area  = 15.33  square feet

So, Gerard has left to tile = 15.33 square feet

Thus, Gerard has left 15.33 square feet area to tile.
