Question

A rectangular field has dimension of 91 feet by 60 and 1/3 feet what is the area of the field

Answer 1

5490.3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Area =
`91*(181)/(3)=5490(1)/(3)` square feet

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

A = length * width

Where length is 91 feet and width is
`60(1)/(3)` feet

Before we do the multiplication, we have to change the mixed number [width] into an improper fraction by using the rule shown below:

`a(b)/(c)=((a*c)+b)/(c)`

Hence,

`60(1)/(3)=(181)/(3)`

So, the area is:

Area =
`91*(181)/(3)=5490(1)/(3)` square feet
