Question

What is the area of a kitchen floor that measures 15 1/4 ft by 13 and 3/4 ft

Answer 1

15 1/4 ft. = 15.25 ft.
13 3/4 ft. = 13.75 ft.

Based on the given measurements, I concluded that the shape of the kitchen is rectangle.
A = L x W
A = 15.25 ft. x 13.75 ft.
A = 209.6875 ft.

Answer 2

`\text {Area = Length x Width}`

Find Area

`\text {Area = } 15 (1)/(4) * 13 (3)/(4)`

Change to improper fractions

`\text {Area = } (61)/(4) * (55)/(4)`

Combine the fractions

`\text {Area = } (3355)/(16)`

Simplify

`\text {Area = } 209(11)/(16) \ ft^2`
