Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\red{❥Answer}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case, the first thing you should do is find the area of the room. We can assume that the room is a rectangle, then the area will be:

 A = (w) * (l)

 Where,

 w: width

 l: long

 Substituting the values we have:

 A = (16) * (20)

 A = 320 feet ^ 2

 We note that each carpet covers only 4 feet ^ 2.

 Therefore the number of carpets will be:

 N = (320) / (4)

 N = 80
