Question

A crate is 3/4 yard long and 2/4 yard wide. The crate is also 2 feet tall. What is the area of the top of the crate?

(please explain the answer step by step if possible.)

Answer 1

The area of the top of the crate can be found by multiplying the length by the width.

1. First, we need to convert all units to the same unit, either yards or feet. We will convert the length and width to yards:

3/4 yard = 9/12 yards

2/4 yard = 6/12 yards

2. Now we can find the area by multiplying the length by the width:

Area = 9/12 yards * 6/12 yards = (9/12) * (6/12) = 3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8 yards^2

So, the area of the top of the crate is 3/8 yards^2.
