Question

Find the area of a rectangle that is 3 3 over 4 inches long by 2 1 fourth inches wide. ANS.( Use mixed number) _______. in squared

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

`\begin{gathered} Length(l)=3(3)/(4) \\ Width(w)=2(1)/(4) \\ Area=l\cdot w \\ Area=3(3)/(4)\cdot2(1)/(4) \\ Area=(15)/(4)\cdot(9)/(4)=(15\cdot9)/(4\cdot4) \\ Area=(135)/(16)=8(7)/(16) \\ Area=8(7)/(16)in^2 \\ \\ \therefore Area=8(7)/(16)in^2 \end{gathered}`
