Answer:

2 rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

Let; 4 7/10 = 47/10

9 2/5=47/5

So; if each room(1) = 47/10

47/5 should be x rooms

Equation form

47/10 = 1

47/5 = x

cross multiplying

47/10x = 47/5

L.C.M = 10

10×47/10x = 10× 47/5

47x = 47 × 2

x = 47 × 2/47

x = 2

Therefore x being 9 2/5 rolls of wire will wire 2 rooms
