Question

Find the area of the rectangle.
1 1/2 yd
58/ 8 yd

Answer 1

`\sf Area = 10(7)/(8) \yd^2`

Explanation:

Area of rectangle:

Area = length *breadth

Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

`\sf 1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2) \ yd`

`\sf area = (3)/(2)*(58)/(8)\\\\`

`\sf = (3*29)/(8)\\\\=(87)/(8)\\\\= 10(7)/(8) \ yd^2`
