Answer:
20(11)/(32)\ sq\ yd


Explanation:

Given: The width of the room =
3(7)/(8)\ yd=(31)/(8)\ yd

The length of the room =
1(5)/(4)\ yd=(21)/(4)\ yd

The area of the rectangular room=
length * width

⇒The area of the rectangular room=
(21)/(4)*(31)/(8)\ sq\ yd

⇒The area of the rectangular room=
(651)/(32)\ sq\ yd

⇒The area of the rectangular room=
20(11)/(32)\ sq\ yd
