in her apartment O'Neal places a rug on the floor that cover 2/3 of her living room. her couch covers 2/3 of the roug how much of the whole living room does the couch cover?

Respuesta :

Let:

x = space covered by the couch

y = space covered by the rug

T = total space

so:

[tex]T=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\times2}{3\times3}=\frac{4}{9}\approx0.444[/tex]
