Answer:

51 1/35 ft²

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length x width

6 5/7 x 73/5

to multiply both figures, convert the mixed fractions to an improper fraction

to convert to improper fraction, take the following steps :

1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator

2. Add the numerator to the answer gotten in the previous step

3. divide the number gotten in the previous step by the denominator

47/7 x 38/5 = 1786 / 35

convert the improper fraction to a mixed fraction = 51 1/35 ft²
