Answer:

area = 1 5/16 mile²

Explanation:

area of rectangle = length × width

area = 7/8 mile × 1 1/2 mile

Convert the mixed numeral into a fraction.

area = 7/8 mile × 3/2 mile

Multiply the fractions.

area = 21/16 mile²

Convert the improper fraction to a mixed numeral.

area = 16/16 mile² + 5/16 mile²

area = 1 5/16 mile²
