Question

Marie plants flowers in a planter that is 1 1/2 feet long and 1 2/3 feet wide. She plans to cover the entire area with fertilizer. How much area will she need to spread with fertilizer

Answer 1

2 3/6

Explanation:

You must turn 1 2/3 and 1 1/2 into improper fractions. You then multiply them and get an answer of 15/6, but since 6 can go into 15 twice (6x2=12+3=15), you get a whole of 2 and 3/6.
