B) 1 square yard
C) 5/12 square yards
D) 15/4 square yards

Answer 1

To find the area of the desk, multiply the length and width. The area of the desktop is 5/4 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the desktop, we need to multiply the length and width of the desk. The length is 3/4 yards and the width is 5/3 yards. To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So, the area of the desktop is (3/4) * (5/3) = 15/12 square yards. Simplifying this fraction, we get 5/4 square yards.
