A rectangular carpet measures 12 m by 5 m.
Part of the carpet is covered by a square rug of length 2 m.
12 m
What fraction of the carpet is
covered by the rug?
Give your answer in its simplest form.
5 m
2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the Rectangular Carpet=12*5=60m²

Area of the Square rug=2*2=4m²

Expressing the area of the rug as a fraction of the total area of the carpet, we have:

.

The fraction of the carpet that is covered by the rug is .

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
