Question

Daniela painted a photo that was 4/5 afoot by 1 7/8 of afoot. What was the area?​

Answer 1

`(3)/(2)` square feet

Explanation:

The dimensions of the photo is 4/5 by 1 7/8 of a foot.

But,

1 7/8 =
`(15)/(8)` feet

So that,

length of the photo =
`(15)/(8)` feet

width of the photo =
`(4)/(5)` feet

The area of the photo = length x width

=
`(15)/(8)` x
`(4)/(5)`

=
`(60)/(40)`

=
`(3)/(2)`

Area of the painted photo is
`(3)/(2)` square feet.
