Answer:
The area of the living room is [tex]238\ ft^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
[tex]1\ foot=12\ inches[/tex]
In this problem we have that
The dimensions of the living room are
[tex]12'4" * 19'4"[/tex]
Convert inches to feet first
[tex]12'4"=12+(4/12)=12+(1/3)=37/3\ ft[/tex]
[tex]19'4"=19+(4/12)=19+(1/3)=58/3\ ft[/tex]
To find the rectangular area multiply the dimensions
[tex](37/3)*(58/3)=238\ ft^{2}[/tex]
