Answer 2

remmeber that (a/b) times (c/d)=(ac)/(bc)

convert to impropoer

4 and 1/4=4+1/4=16/4+1/4=17/4

2 and 2/3=2+2/3=6/3+2/3=8/3

area=4 and 1/4 times 2 and 2/3
area=17/4 times 8/3
area=(17 times 8)/(4 times 3)
area=136/12
area=34/3
area=33/3+1/3
area=10+1/3
aera=10 and 1/3 yd² or square yards
