Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the Rectangular Carpet=12*5=60m²

Area of the Square rug=2*2=4m²

Expressing the area of the rug as a fraction of the total area of the carpet, we have:

[tex]\frac{\text{Area of Rug}}{\text{Area of Carpet}}=\frac{4}{60}\\=\frac{1}{15}[/tex].

The fraction of the carpet that is covered by the rug is [tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex].
