The area of a rectangle is given by the following formula:

A = w×l

Where w and l are the width and length of the rectangle. By replacing 3/4 for l and 1/5 for w, we get:


A=(3)/(4)*(1)/(5)

In order to multiply fractions, we just have to multiply numerators and denominators, like this:


A=(3*1)/(4*5)=(3)/(20)

Then, the area of the given rectangle is 3/20 cm²
