Area = Length × Width

Area = ³₄ × ¹/₂


Area = (3)/(4) * (1)/(2)\\\\\boxed{\bf{Area = (3)/(8)}}

The area of the poster frame is 3/8 yards².

The area is 3/8 yd².

Area = length x width

Given:
length = 3/4 yard
width = 1/2 yard

Area = 3/4 yd * 1/2 yd
Area = 3*1/4*2
Area = 3/8 yd²

In multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators, then, multiply the denominators. lastly, simplify the fraction. 3/8 yd² is already in its simplest form.
