Question

Dave is making a rectangle garden bed after assembling it he finds that the bed has a width of three fourths of a foot and a length of nine and one-third feet as shown what is the area of the garden in square feet express your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

7 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the rectangle is 3/4 ft and the length is 9 1/3 ft.

First, we need to convert 9 1/3 ft to a fraction, so

`9(1)/(3)=9+(1)/(3)=(9(3)+1)/(3)=(27+1)/(3)=(28)/(3)`

Then, the length of the rectangle is 28/3 ft

Now, we can calculate the area of the garden as

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area = Width x Length} \\ \text{Area = }(3)/(4)*(28)/(3)=(3*28)/(4*3)=(84)/(12)=7 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area is 7 square feet.
