Daqwan is putting carpet in his room. The room is 20x20 feet. If it is half carpeted, how many square feet are left uncarpeted?

Answer :

Final answer:

Daqwan's room is 400 square feet in total. Half of it is carpeted, leaving the other half, which is 200 square feet, uncarpeted.

Explanation:

The mathematics question involves finding the area of a room that is partially carpeted. Daqwan's room measures 20x20 feet, which means the total area of the room is 400 square feet. Given that half of the room is carpeted, we need to calculate the area that is left without carpet. Since half the room is carpeted, the uncarpeted area will also be half of the total area.

To find the uncarpeted area, we simply take the total area and divide it by 2:

  • Total area of the room = 20 feet x 20 feet = 400 square feet
  • Carpeted area = Total area / 2
  • Carpeted area = 400 square feet / 2 = 200 square feet
  • Uncarpeted area = Total area - Carpeted area
  • Uncarpeted area = 400 square feet - 200 square feet
  • Uncarpeted area = 200 square feet

Therefore, there are 200 square feet left uncarpeted in Daqwan's room after half of it is carpeted.
