    Answer:

    Area of carpet = 177.625 ft²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Length of room = 14\frac{1}{2} = 14.5 ft

    Width of room = 12\frac{1}{4} = 12.25 ft

    Find:

    Area of carpet

    Computation:

    Area of carpet = lb

    Area of carpet = (14.5)(12.25)

    Area of carpet = 177.625 ft²

    Micheal estimation = 15.5 x 12.25 = 189.875

    Tracy estimation = 12.25 x 15.5 = 189.875

    Both wrong.
