Question

Hii i forgot how to multiply fractions and I'm a bit rusty since the pandemic

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is given as length(l) x width(w)

length = 2 1/4

width = 1 1/2

Hence substituting these values into the formula

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area = 2}(1)/(4)*1(1)/(2) \\ \text{Area = }((4*2)+1)/(4)*((2*1)+1)/(2) \\ \text{Area = }(9)/(4)*(3)/(2) \\ \text{Area = }(27)/(8)in^2 \\ \text{Area = 3}(3)/(8)in^2 \end{gathered}`
