Question

Rectangle is 2/5 in. long and 1/3 in. wide.

What is the area of the rectangle


answer in the form of a fraction

Answer 1

Answer: "
`(2)/(15)` in² " . {that is: " (2/15) in² . "}.
___________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
___________________________________________
The formula/equation for the Area of a rectangle:

A = L * w ;

in which: L = ⅖ in ;
w = ⅓ in;
___________________________
Find the area; in a "fraction value" ;
_______________________________
A = L * w ;

→ Substitute the given values for "L" (length) and "w" (width);
and solve for "A" (area) in the "form of a fraction:
__________________________________________________

A = (2/15) in * (1/3) in ;

→ A = [(2*1) / (5*3)] * in * in ;
______________________________________________________
→ Answer: The area is: "
`(2)/(15)` in² " .

{that is, "(2/15) in² " .}.
