The answer to your question is 48 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Dimensions of the rug = 16 ft x 4 ft

1/4 is purple

3/4 is blue

Blue area = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the area of the rug

Area = base x height

-Substitution

Area = 16 x 4

        = 64 ft²

2.- Determine the blue area

                    64 ft² 1

                     x       3/4

                     x = (3/4)(64) / 1

                     x = 192/4

                     x = 48 ft²
