Answer:

88/27 or 3 7/27 in^2

Explanation:

Multiply the length and width together:

2 2 /3 times 1 2 /9

We could either convert these measurements to improper fractions and then multiply, or we could use a calculator: 2+(2/3) ENTER x (1 + 2/9) ENTER.

Result: 3.259 in^2 (approximately) or 88/27 in^2 (exact answer)
