Question

Area of 2 1/4 by 3 1/2

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\text {Area = Length x Width}}}`


`\text {Area =} 2 (1)/(4) * 3 (1)/(2)`


`\text {Area =} (9)/(4) * (7)/(2)`


`\text {Area =} (63)/(8)`


`\text {Area =} 7(7)/(8) \text { units}^2`

Answer 2

Hey there!

2 1/4 = 9/4

3 1/2 = 7/2

9 x 7 = 63

4 x 2 = 8

= 63/8

Simplifying 63/8 . . .

63/8 = 7 7/8

2 1/4 * 3 1/2 = 7 7/8

Area = 7 7/8

I hope this helps you!
