Veronica purchases a rug with a length of 16 feet and a width of 4 feet. One fourth of the rug is purple and the rest is blue. What is the area of the blue part of the rug?

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. Calculate the total area of the rug:
   $$
   \text{Total Area} = 16 \times 4 = 64 \text{ square feet}
   $$

2. Determine the area that is purple. Since one fourth is purple:
   $$
   \text{Purple Area} = \frac{1}{4} \times 64 = 16 \text{ square feet}
   $$

3. Calculate the area that is blue by subtracting the purple area from the total area:
   $$
   \text{Blue Area} = 64 - 16 = 48 \text{ square feet}
   $$
The blue part of the rug is 48 square feet.
