Gail calculated the area of her 12.5' x 8.75' office. She is buying carpet and wants to
make sure she purchases enough. She came up with 109.375. Since the carpet is sold
in square feet, she has to get 110 square feet since 109 won't be enough.
Helpful hint: A = LxW
Do you agree with her reasoning? If yes, choose True. If you disagree, choose False.
True
O False
She needs 109.375 sq. ft. Rounding this number using the rounding rules will not give her the correct answer because she will be short by .375 sq. ft. of carpet.
