For this case we have the following relationship for the number of carpeted cubicles:

[tex] n = xy
[/tex]

Where,

y: total number of cubicles

x: fraction of carpeted cubicles.

Therefore, substituting values we have:

[tex] n = (\frac{1}{4}) (8)

n = 2
[/tex]

Answer:

The number of carpeted cubicles is given by:

[tex] n = 2 [/tex]

Only 2 cubicles are carpeted

Further explanation  

Fraction numbers are known as numerators and denominators  

On a number line, fractions are expressed in points that lie between two integers  

The general form of fractions is  

[tex] \large {\boxed {\bold {\frac {a} {b}}} [/tex]  

a = numerator  

b = denominator  

There are several steps to multiply fractions  

  • 1. Multiply the numerators  
  • 2. Multiply the denominators  
  • 3. Simplify the fraction  

For multiplying fractions and whole numbers,  

  • 1. Make the whole number a fraction (denominators = 1)  
  • 2. Multiplying fractions  

An office is divided into 8 cubicles

1/4 of the cubicles are carpeted

This includes multiplying fractions and whole numbers:

so make the whole number a fraction

[tex]\displaystyle 8=\frac{8}{1}[/tex]

then multiplying the top (numerators) and the bottom(denominators)

=[tex]\displaystyle \frac{8}{1} \times\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

=[tex]\displaystyle \frac{8\times1}{1\times4}[/tex]

=[tex]\displaystyle \frac{8}{4}[/tex]

=[tex]\large{\boxed{\bold{2}}[/tex]
