The carpet's proportions are 8 feet x 12 feet. If the carpet is to be 2 feet wide, we have to divide the original proportions by 4, since 8/4 = 2. So, the new proportions will be 2 feet x 3 feet.
To find the carpet's area, we must multiply the width and the length. So, the final answer is:
Area = 2 x 3 = 6 square feet
