Question

Base of the garden 7 1/2 feet and the height is 4 5/6 feet. What is the area?

Answer 1

Answer: 145/4

Explanation:

1. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

Base =
`(15)/(2)` feet and Height = 
`(29)/(6)`

2. Multiply the two fractions by multiplying the numerators and denominators separately

15 * 29 = 435
2 * 6 = 12

`(435)/(12)`

3. Convert it into simplified form if required


`(435)/(12)` =
`(145)/(4)`
