Question

Television screen is 2 1/3 feet long and 2 2/5 feet wide. What is the total area of the screen

Answer 1

Area+ length times width.
Make them improper and multiply.
12/5 and 7/3. Then you multiply

Answer 2

The length given is
`2(1)/(3)` feet

The width given is
`2(2)/(5)` feet

Since, the dimensions given are length and width only, we know that the television screen is a rectangle. Now, we know that the area of a rectangle is given by:

Area = length x width

Therefore, Area=
`2(1)/(3)` feet x
`2(2)/(5)` feet

Area=
`(7)/(3)* (12)/(5)=(84)/(15)=5(3)/(5)` squared feet.

Thus, the total area of the television screen is
`5(3)/(5)`
`ft^2`
