Question

On their farm, Beth’s parents decided to plant beans in a certain area. They chose an area that was 1/2 of an acre wide and 3/4 of an acre long. Choose the model that shows the area they’ll use for beans.

options:

3/4
6/8
4/10
3/8

Answer 1

I got 3/8 because when you find area you multiply and if you multiply the fractions you get 3/8

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is 3/8

Step-by-step explanation: For this problem you only need to multiply the fractions. So when you multiply the two fractions you first multiply both numerators so 1 X 3 = 3 then the denominators 4 X 2 = 8. So the fraction is 3 over 8 3/8.

Hope this helps.
