The Murphy family bought two rectangular dog beds for their pets fluffys bed was 3 feet by 1 9/12 Pete's bed was 4 feet by 2 4/12 feet How much more area does Pete's bed have than fluffys

4 1/12 sq. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the amount of area that Pete's bed have more than Fluffy's bed, we simply calculate the area of both beds then subtract the smaller from the larger.

The area of Fluff's bed would be 3 * 21/12 = 63/12 Sq ft

The area of Pete's bed would be 4 * 28/12 = 112/12 sq ft

The difference in area is thus: 112/12 - 63/12 = 49/12 = 4 1/12 sq. ft
