Answer:

[tex]Area = 49\frac{25}{36}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tile

[tex]Length = 4\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Width = 2\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

See attachment for dimension of the floor

Required

Determine the area covered by the carpet

From the attachment, the dimension of the floor is:

[tex]Length = 12\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Width = 5[/tex]

Calculate Area

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

[tex]Area = 12\frac{1}{4} * 5[/tex]

[tex]Area = 61\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

The area of the tiles is:

[tex]Area = 4\frac{5}{6} * 2\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{29}{6} * \frac{7}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{203}{18}[/tex]

[tex]Area = 11\frac{5}{18}[/tex]

So, the carpet area is:

[tex]Area = Floor\ Area - Tile\ Area[/tex]

[tex]Area = 61\frac{1}{4} - 11\frac{5}{18}[/tex]

To improper number

[tex]Area = \frac{245}{4} - \frac{208}{18}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]Area = \frac{2205 - 416}{36}[/tex]

[tex]Area = \frac{1789}{36}[/tex]

[tex]Area = 49\frac{25}{36}[/tex]
