Answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply its length by its width.

The length of the rectangle is 2 2/3 inches, which can be expressed as an improper fraction: (3 * 2 + 2)/3 = 8/3 inches.

The width of the rectangle is 2 1/3 inches, which can also be expressed as an improper fraction: (3 * 2 + 1)/3 = 7/3 inches.

Now, we can calculate the area by multiplying the length and width:

Area = (8/3) * (7/3)

= (8 * 7)/(3 * 3)

= 56/9

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 56/9 square inches, which can be simplified, if needed.
