˜”*°•.˜”*°• Question •°*”˜.•°*”˜
The space where a new school will be built in the shape of a rectangle that is 1/12 miles wide and 3/12 mile long. What is the area of the space where the school will be built in square miles?
˜”*°•.˜”*°• Answer •°*”˜.•°*”˜
1/48 square miles
˜”*°•.˜”*°• Explanation •°*”˜.•°*”˜
Since this question is asking us to find the area of the rectangle:
a = l(w)
![(1)/(12)((3)/(12)) = (1)/(48)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/bczbhimwkjvxmcdlmue7wumfliq6p3hcoe.png)
˜”*°•.˜”*°• Conclusion •°*”˜.•°*”˜
Therefore, I can conclude that the area of the rectangle is 1/48 square miles.
(I think this might be wrong.)
