A carpet which measures 4m times 3m covers 60% of the floor area of a rectangular room.The length of the room is 5m .What is the width?

Answer 1

The floor area of the room is:

5m x w = 5w

Since the carpet covers 60% of the floor area, we can write:

0.6(5w) = 4m x 3m

Simplifying this equation:

3w = 8m

Dividing both sides by 3:

w = 8m/3

Therefore, the width of the room is approximately 2.67 meters.

Answer 2

2.67m

Answer 3

Yes, that is correct. The width of the room is approximately 2.67 meters.
