Question

What is the area, in square feet, of a rectangle with dimensions are 6 4/5 feet by 4 3/4 feet?

Answer 1

32.3 (square feet)

Explanation:

convert the number into improper fractions (format a/b):

6 4/5 = (6 X 5 + 4) /5 = (30 + 4)/ 5 = 34/5.

4 3/4 = (4 X 4 + 3) /4 = (16 + 3) /4 = 19/4.

the area = length X width.

(34/5) X (19/4) = (34 X 19) / (5 X 4)

= (646) /20

= 32.3 (square feet)
