Michael and Tracy are carpeting their family room that is 15 1/2 feet long and 12 1/4 feet wide. To find the amount of carpet needed, Michael says to multiply 15 1/2 and 12 1/4 and Tracy says to multiply 12 1/4 and 15 1/2. Who is right? How much carpet is needed?

Both of them are right

The amount of carpet needed is 189 7/8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the person with the right calculations step between Michael and Tracy

From what we can see in the question, both exactly have the same calculations

They only differ in the number to put first

So we can say both are right

The amount of carpet needed will be;

12 1/4 * 15 1/2

= 49/4 * 31/2 = 1519/8

= 189 7/8 square feet

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
