Question

Find the area of the figure 27 1/2 yd and 17 1/5 yd​

Answer 1

if the figure is a rectangle the answer is 473

Answer 2

473

Explanation:

First you need to make the fractions mixed numbers

27 1/2= 55/2

17 1/5= 86/5

Then you multiply across

55/2*86/5= 4730/10

then you divide 4730 by 10 to make it an improper fraction.

(because the denominator is 10 just take the 0 out of the end of 4630, this trick only works if the last number in the numerator is 0.)

And your anwser should be 473

I hope this helps!!!!!
