A carpet store puts 40 square yards of outdoor carpet

on sale. After the sale, they have 10 1/3 square yards

of carpet left. How much did they sell? Of the carpet

sold, half was green. How many square feet of green

carpet did they sell?

Solve:

Prove wh

29 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

40 - 10 1/3

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fraction

= 40 - 31/3

Simplifying the above expression,

= 120 - 31 / 3

= 89/3

= 29 2/3 carpet yards

Thus from total of 40 yards, 29 2/3 yards of carpet were sold.

If half of 29 2/3 were green carpets sold, thus, 29 2/3 divided by 2 equals 14.83 feet of green carpet were sold.
