Question

Gabby and Lucy create a bandit for the school rally that measures 2 and 1/3 by 6 and 1/4 ft what is the area of the banner

Answer 1

To find the area of the banner, we need to multiply its length by its width.

First, we need to convert the mixed numbers 2 1/3 and 6 1/4 into improper fractions:

2 1/3 = 7/3
6 1/4 = 25/4

Now, we can multiply the fractions to find the area:

(7/3) x (25/4) = 175/12

We can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 1, as follows:

(175/1) ÷ (12/1) = 14.58

Therefore, the area of the banner is approximately 14.58 square feet.
