Answer: 5 ft^2

Explanation:

Area=length times width. In this problem, the lenght is 3 1/8 and the width is 1 3/5. We have to multiply these two:

1 3/5*3 1/8= 8/5*25/8=5.

So the area is 5 ft^2.

Answer:

5 feet squared.

Explanation:

You can multiply the length by the width to get the total area of the poster.

1 3/5 x 3 1/8 is equal to 5, therefore, the area of the poster is 5 feet squared.
