Answer:

3 2/3 square feet.

Explanation:

You just need to multiply 6 and 4 2/3. To do this you have to change both of them into improper fractions so 6 would be 21/3 and 4 2/3 would be 14/3. If you cross cancel the 21/3 will become 7/3 and the 14/3 will become 14/1. Now you have to multiply across and you should get 98/3. To change the improper fraction into a mixed number you have to divide 98 and 3 so you can get 3 2/3. Therefore, the answer to the area of the quilt is 3 2/3 square feet.
