Veronica purchases a rug with a length of 16 feet and a width of 4 feet. One fourth of the rug is purple and the rest is blue. What is the area of the blue part of the rug?

The answer to your question is 48 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Dimensions of the rug = 16 ft x 4 ft

1/4 is purple

3/4 is blue

Blue area = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the area of the rug

Area = base x height

-Substitution

Area = 16 x 4

        = 64 ft²

2.- Determine the blue area

                    64 ft² 1

                     x       3/4

                     x = (3/4)(64) / 1

                     x = 192/4

                     x = 48 ft²

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
