Question

Ms. Sampson is replacing the tile along the edge of her kitchen counter. The edge piece is LaTeX: \frac{1}{6}1 6 feet tall and LaTeX: 2\frac{3}{4}2 3 4 feet wide. What is the area, in square feet, of the edge piece?

Answer 1

11/24 square feet

Explanation:

Area of the edge piece = Length * Width

Given

Length = 1/6 feet

Width = 2 3/4 feet

Area of the edge piece = 1/6 * 2 3/4

Area of the edge piece = 1/6 * 11/4

Area of the edge piece = 11/(6*4)

Area of the edge piece = 11/24

Hence the area of the edge piece is 11/24 square feet
