Question

Mr Khadka has bought two piece of carpet his room. carpet-x has area 48sq. ft and width 6 ft. the area of carpet-y is one half area of carpet-x. if both the carpets have same length. what is the width of the carpet-y?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

area of carpet x = 48 ft²

width of carpet x = 6 ft

let the length of carpet x be l

area of carpet x = l*w

48 ft² = l*6ft

l = $\frac{48}{6}$

l = 8 ft

now,

area of carpet y = $\frac{1}{2}$ the area of carpet x

area of carpet y = $\frac{1}{2}$*48

area of carpet y = 24

now,

area of carpet y = 24 ft²

length of carpet y = length of carpet x = 8 ft

let the width be w

area of carpet y = l*w

24 ft² = 8 ft*w

w = $\frac{24}{8}$

w = 3 ft
