An office is divided into 8 cubicles. how many of the cubicles are carpeted if only 1/4 of the cubicles are carpeted?

For this case we have the following relationship for the number of carpeted cubicles:

Where,

y: total number of cubicles

x: fraction of carpeted cubicles.

Therefore, substituting values we have:

The number of carpeted cubicles is given by:

Only 2 cubicles are carpeted

Fraction numbers are known as numerators and denominators  

On a number line, fractions are expressed in points that lie between two integers  

The general form of fractions is  

a = numerator  

b = denominator  

There are several steps to multiply fractions  

For multiplying fractions and whole numbers,  

An office is divided into 8 cubicles

1/4 of the cubicles are carpeted

This includes multiplying fractions and whole numbers:

so make the whole number a fraction

then multiplying the top (numerators) and the bottom(denominators)

=

=

=

=

5 - 1 1/4 will be more than 4
