Answer:

1/6 yards²

Explanation:

Here is the correct question

Nikhil is making a large poster for Leadership. It is 2/3 of a yard long and 1/4 of a yard wide. What is the area in square yards of his poster?

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

= 2/3 x 1/4 = 2/12

2/12 is not yet in its simplest form

to convert it to its simplest form, divide numerator and denominator by 2

this gives 1/6 yards²
