Answer:
Part a: C
Part b: C
Explanation:
Part A: first you will need to simply the mixed fraction (
) to a improper fraction. To do so you will have to multiply the whole number (2) to the denominator (2) which is 4, then you have to add that number to the numerator (1), which would be 4 + 1 =5. You keep the denominator the same so
is also equal to

Then proceed on with the equation
Multiply straight across and the answer will be
. to change this back into mixed form you have to see how many times the denominator will go into the numerator which will be the whole number, then whatever is left over will the the numerator, lastly the denominator will stay the same

Now we have to compare
to

Since the whole number is the same, you dont have to worry about it so just focus on
and

First convert each fraction into decimal numbers. Do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction
=0.563
= 0.25
0.563 is greater than 0.25
Therefor
is more than

Or in other words
is more than
Part B:
Area= length X width
X
=
