Question

Ava bought a rectangular rug for her hallway. The rug is į yards wide and 2 yards long 2 3 What is the area of the rug?

Answer 1

Concept:

The area of the rectangle is given below as

`\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=\text{length}* width \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=l* w \\ \text{where,} \\ l=2(3)/(4)yd \\ w=(2)/(3)yd \end{gathered}`

By substituting the values, we will have

`\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=\text{length}* width \\ =2(3)/(4)yd*(2)/(3)yd \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=(11)/(4)yd*(2)/(3)yd \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=(11)/(6)yd^2 \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=1(5)/(6)yd^2 \end{gathered}`

Hence,

The final answer is

`1(5)/(6)yd^2`
