Question

Find the area of a rectangle with side lengths of 3/4 cm and 1/5 cm

Answer 1

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
