Question

Nancy's garden has the dimensions shown 4 1/2 yard

3 3/4 yd . She need find the area

Answer 1

The area of Nancy's garden is
`16(7)/(8)\ yd^(2)`

Explanation:

I assume that the Nancy's garden is a rectangle shape

To find the area first convert mixed number to an improper fraction

`4(1)/(2)\ yd=(4*2+1)/(2)=(9)/(2)\ yd`

`3(3)/(4)\ yd=(3*4+3)/(4)=(15)/(4)\ yd`

Therefore

The area is equal to

`A=(9)/(2)*(15)/(4)=(135)/(8)\ yd^(2)`

convert to mixed number

`(135)/(8)\ yd^{2=(128)/(8)+(7)/(8)=16(7)/(8)\ yd^(2)`
