Question

Ms Hendricks is buying a rectangular piece of land that is 2/5 mile on one side and 5/6 mile on an adjacent side. What is the area of the piece of land. help me please I don't get this

Answer 1

Hi there!

To find the area of an object, we need to multiply the two sidelengths together.

2/5 × 5/6 = 10/30

Now, we simplify.

10/30 = 1/3

So, your answer is 1/3 miles squared.

Hope this helps!
