Question

Work out the area of the rectangle using a calculator and

giving your answer as a mixed number.
2 2/7 cm
5 1/6 cm

Answer 1

11 17/21 cm²

Explanation:

Given

Length = 2 2/7cm

Width = 5 1/6cm

Area of the rectangle = Length * width

Area of the rectangle = 2 2/7 * 5 1/6

Area of the rectangle = 16/7 * 31/6

Area of the rectangle = (16*31)/(7*6)

Area of the rectangle = 496/42

Area of the rectangle = 11 34/42

Area of the rectangle = 11 17/21

Hence the Area of the rectangle is 11 17/21 cm²
