Rita has bought a carpet of size 4 m × 6(2/3) m. But her room size is 3(1/3) m × 5(1/3) m. What fraction of area should be cut off to fit wall to wall carpet into the room

Solution:

Area of the carpet = 4 × 6(2/3) sq. m. = 80/3 sq. m.

Area of the room = 3(1/3) × 5(1/3)

= 10/3 × 16/3 = 160/9 sq. m.

Area to be cut off = (80/3 - 160/9)m² = 240/9 - 160/9 = 80/9 sq. m = 8(8/9) sq. m

✦ Try This: Rita has bought a carpet of size 5 m × 7(2/3) m. But her room size is 4(1/3) m × 6(1/3) m. What fraction of the area should be cut off to fit wall-to-wall carpet into the room?

To solve the above problem you can follow the fractions rules to get the required answer.
