Question

A rectangle is 2 4/5 M wide and 3 and 1/2 meters long what is its area

Answer 1

2 4/5=14/5, 3 1/2=7/2
A=l*w
14/5*7/2=98/10
98/10=9 8/10, 9 4/5
A= 9 4/5

Answer: Its area is 9 4/5m^2

Answer 2

Hey there!!

The area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

Length is given by :

`3(1)/(2)`

Converting this into improper fraction would be :

`(7)/(2)`

The breadth is given by :

`2(4)/(5)`

Converting this into improper fraction, we get :

`(14)/(5)`

Now, Area =

`(7)/(2) * (14)/(5)`

Area =
`(98)/(10)`

Converting this into mixed fraction we get :

`9(8)/(10)`

Hope my answer helps!!
