Answer:

1/2 or 6/12

Explanation:

To get the area of the crate's top, multiply the length and width together. Should not multiply the height by anything because it simply measures the height of the box and not the length or breadth of any of its bases (the top and bottom of the box). When you multiply the length by 3/4 and the breadth by 2/3, you should obtain 6/12, or 1/2 yard squared, as your answer for the area of the crate's top.
