Answer:

13 ⅓.

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by

Area = Length × Breadth

Length = 2 7/9 = 25/9 and breadth = 4 4/5 = 24/5

.: Area = 25/9 × 24/5 = 600/45 (15 can go to both the numerator and denominator)

We have 40/3 but to convert it to a mixed fraction we get 13 ⅓ as your area.
