The area of the rectangle is 6.875 square yards.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width.
The given length of the rectangle =3 1/8
The given width = 2 1/5,
We convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions:
3 1/8 = 25/8
2 1/5 = 11/5
Then multiplying these fractions to find the area, we get:
Area = (25/8) * (11/5) = 275/40 = 6.875 square yards
Thus, we can conclude that the area of the rectangle is 6.875 square yards.
