Praxis 5511 Practice Question
Larry’s 35 ft × 20 ft room has tiled rectangles. Carpet area?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the carpet area of Larry's room, calculate the total area by multiplying the length and width: 35 ft × 20 ft = 700 sq ft. However, since the room has tiled rectangles, we need to consider the area occupied by the tiles. The remaining area, which is typically less than the total area, is what can be carpeted.
Option A (620) is too low, likely underestimating the tiled area. Option C (700) assumes no area is taken by tiles, which is incorrect. Option D (738) overestimates the carpet area, as it exceeds the total area. Option B (662) reflects a reasonable deduction for the tiled area, making it the most accurate choice.
