Question

Tanner made his aunt a garden. The width is 9 4/5 ft and the length is 5 3/4 ft. What is the area of

the garden?

Answer 1

To find the area of the garden, multiply the width by the length. The area of the garden is 56 7/20 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden has a width of 9 4/5 ft and a length of 5 3/4 ft. To find the area of the garden, we need to multiply the width by the length.

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

Width: 9 4/5 ft = 49/5 ft

Length: 5 3/4 ft = 23/4 ft

Next, multiply the width and length:

Area = (49/5 ft) * (23/4 ft)

Simplify the fraction and multiply:

Area = (49 * 23) / (5 * 4) ft²

Area = 1127/20 ft²

Finally, simplify the fraction and convert it back to a mixed number

Area = 56 7/20 ft²
