Question

The length of a rectangle is 1 7/9 in., and its width is 3/4 of its length. Find the area of this rectangle.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is Area = 1024/243 or 4 52/243

Explanation:

Data

length = 1 7/9

width = 3/4 of its length

Area = ?

Formula

Area of a rectangle = length x width

Process

1.- Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction

1 7/9 = (9 + 7) / 9 = 16/9

2.- Get the width

16/9 / 3/4 = (16 x 4) / (9 x 3)

= 64 / 27

3.- Get the area

Area = (16/9)(64/27)

= 1024/243

= 4 52/243

Answer 2

2.37 square inches

Explanation:

l = 16/9 = 1.78

b = 16/9 *3/4 = 1.33

Area = l * b

Area = 1.78 * 1.33

Area = 2.37 square inches
