Answer: A = 10 in^2 (also known as 10 inches squared)
Explanation: The formula to find the area of a rectangle is l • w (length times the width.) So, in this case you would multiply 15/2 and 4/3. Since they are already in their improper fraction form, you do not need to change the form of the numbers. So, you can simply multiply the numbers vertically (straight across). 15/2 x 4/3 = 60/6. 6 can go in 10 times in 60. Therefore, the most simplified answer you can get is 10. Hope that helped!
