Question

A triangle has base 8 3/8 feet and height 6 3/4 feet. Find the area of the triangle as a mixed number.

Answer 1

First you convert the mixed numbers into improper fraction

`8(3)/(8) = (67)/(8) \\\\6 (3)/(4) = (27)/(4)`

Solution

`A=((27)/(4) + (67)/(8) )/(2)`

`A=((54 + 67)/(8) )/(2)`

`A((121)/(8) )/(2)`

`A=(121)/(8)` *
`(1)/(2)`

`A= (121)/(16)`

`A= 7 (9)/(16)`
