Answer:

The area would be 10/7, or 1 3/7

Explanation:

First, to find the area, you would need to multiply the length and the width. So you would need to multiply 5/6 by 1 5/7. To make it easier to multiply, change 1 5/7 to an improper fraction, which is 12/7. Finally, multiply 5/6 by 12/7 which gives you 60/42, which can simplify as either 10/7 or 1 3/7.

Hope this helps!
