Question

A rectangle is 2 4/5 meters wide and 3 1/2 meters long What is its area?

Answer 1

The rectangle would be 7

First, let’s change the sides to decimals. 2 4/5 would be 2.8, and 3 1/2 would be 3.5

Now, to find the area of a rectangle you must multiple the length by the width. Therefore, it would be 2.8 x 3.5 = 7. There is your answer.
