Answer:

11/10 or 1 1/10 square feet

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

((2 + 3/4)×2)/5

Hint: | Express ((2 + 3/4)×2)/5 as a single fraction.

((2 + 3/4)×2)/5 = ((2 + 3/4)×2)/5:

((2 + 3/4)×2)/5

Hint: | Put the fractions in 2 + 3/4 over a common denominator.

Put 2 + 3/4 over the common denominator 4. 2 + 3/4 = (4×2)/4 + 3/4:

(((4×2)/4 + 3/4) 2)/5

Hint: | Multiply 4 and 2 together.

4×2 = 8:

((8/4 + 3/4)×2)/5

Hint: | Add the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

8/4 + 3/4 = (8 + 3)/4:

(((8 + 3)/4)×2)/5

Hint: | Evaluate 8 + 3.

8 + 3 = 11:

(11/4×2)/5

Hint: | Express 11/4×2 as a single fraction.

11/4×2 = (11×2)/4:

((11×2)/4)/5

Hint: | Express ((11×2)/4)/5 as a single fraction.

((11×2)/4)/5 = (11×2)/(4×5):

(11×2)/(4×5)

Hint: | In (11×2)/(4×5), divide 4 in the denominator by 2 in the numerator.

2/4 = 2/(2×2) = 1/2:

11/(2×5)

Hint: | Multiply 2 and 5 together.

2×5 = 10:

Answer: 11/10 or 1 1/10 sqr feet
