Answer: To find the area of the rectangle, we need to multiply its length by its width.

The length of the rectangle is 4 and 2/4 meters, which is equivalent to 4.5 meters (since 2/4 can be simplified to 1/2, and 4 + 1/2 = 4.5).

The width of the rectangle is 7 and 5/6 meters, which is equivalent to 7.83 meters (since 5/6 can be simplified to 0.83, and 7 + 0.83 = 7.83).

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is:

Area = length x width

Area = 4.5 meters x 7.83 meters

Area = 35.2935 square meters (rounded to four decimal places)

So, the area of the rectangle is approximately 35.2935 square meters, which can be simplified to 35 and 6/24 square meters or 35 and 1/4 square meters.

Therefore, the answer is: Thirty-five and one-fourth (35 1/4) square meters.
