Question

A length of a rectangle is 16/9,. and its width is 3/4 of its length. Find the area of this rectangle

Answer 1

The answer is 1 1/3

Explanation:

First you multiply the numerators then the denominators.

16 x 3 =48 , 9x4=36 =48/36. So that is your answer but it can still be simplified.

They can both be divided by 12 . 48 divided by 12 = 4 . 36 divided by 12 = 3.

but 4/3 is an improper fraction so you divide 4 by 3 and you get 1 with a remainder 1 = 1 and 1/3
