Answer 1

Let us begin by writing out the given information:

The dimensions of the garden are:

`\begin{gathered} \text{length}=\text{ 7}(3)/(4)\text{ ft} \\ \text{width = 2}(2)/(3)\text{ ft} \end{gathered}`

The area of the garden can be calculated using the formula:

`\text{Area = length }*\text{ width}`

Applying the formula using the given dimensions:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area = 7}(3)/(4)\text{ ft }*\text{ 2}(2)/(3)\text{ ft} \\ =\text{ }(31)/(4)\text{ ft }*\text{ }(8)/(3)\text{ ft} \\ =\text{ }(62)/(3)\text{ square f}eet \\ =\text{ 20}(2)/(3)\text{ square f}eet \end{gathered}`

Answer: 20 and two-thirds feet
