Answer:

0.21 square meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the section of wall = 1 square meter

Dimension of part of mural completed =
(1)/(4) meter by
(5)/(6) meter

Part of the mural completed = Area of the rectangular part of mural completed

But,

Area of a rectangle = length x width

So that,

Part of the mural completed = length x width

=
(1)/(4) x
(5)/(6)

=
(5)/(24)

= 0.2083

Part of the mural completed = 0.21 square meter

The part of the mural that has been completed by Beverly is 0.21 square meter.
