Answer:

3.28125 or 105/32 sq inches

Explanation:

To find the area, use the equation A=L*W (area=length x width)

We can find the area of the rectangle by multiplying 2 1/2 and 1 5/16

You can turn them into decimals or fractions

The Decimal Way:

2 1/2 = 2.5

1 5/16 = 1.3125

2.5 x 1.3125 = 3.28125

The Fraction Way:

2 1/2 = 5/2

1 5/16 = 21/16

5/2 x 21/16 = 105/32
