Find the number of carpets required to spread along the floor of a room of dimensions 40 m x 24 m, if each carpet measures 6 m x 4 m.

Dimensions of the room = 40 m × 24 m

Dimensions of each carpet = 6 m × 4 m

Number of carpets = $$\frac{\text{Area of the floor}}{\text{Area of one carpet}}$$​​

Applying the formula;

Number of carpets = $$\frac{40  × 24  }{6  × 4 }$$​ = 40

Thus, the number of carpets required are 40.
