A wall in Marcus's bedroom is 8(2)/(5) feet high and 18(1)/(3) feet long. If he paints (1)/(2) of the wall blue, how many square feet will be blue? 77 144(1)/(15) 72(1)/(15) 154

Answer 1

The area of the wall that will be painted blue is 46.2 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the wall that will be painted blue, we need to calculate the product of the height and the length of the wall and then multiply that by (1/2) since only half of the wall will be painted. The height of the wall is 8(2)/(5) feet and the length is 18(1)/(3) feet.

So, the area of the wall is (8(2)/(5)) x (18(1)/(3)) = (42/5) x (55/3) = 462/5 = 92.4 square feet.

Since only half of the wall will be painted blue, the area that will be painted blue is (1/2) x 92.4 = 46.2 square feet.
