Question

A rectangle measures 25/2 inches by 8/5 inches. What is its area?

Answer 1

(25/2)*(8/5)=200/10=20

Answer 2

20 in²

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of the rectangle is:

Area = Length × Width

Given that, the rectangle measures 25/2 inches by 8/5 inches.

Let us solve it now.

Area = Length × Width

=
`(25)/(2)` ×
`(8)/(5)`

=
`(25*8)/(2*5)`

=
`(200)/(10)`

= 20 in²
