Question 1028968: The minimum number of carpet rolls n needed to carpet a house varies directly as the houses square footage h and inversely with the square footage r in one roll. It takes a minimum of two 1200-ft ^2 carpet rolls to cover 2309 ft^2 of floor. What is the minimum number of 1200-ft ^2 carpet rolls you would need to cover 2500 ft ^2 of floor?
