Question

A farmers rectangular field is 1 and 1/3 kilometers long and 2 and 3/4 kilometers wide. What is the area of the field in sq kilometers?

This is urgent due in 10 mins plz help

Answer 1

Area of Rectangle =
`3(2)/(3)` square kilometers

Explanation:

Area of rectangle is given by the formula:

Area of Rectangle = Length * Width

Given,

Length = 1 1/3rd km

Width = 2 3/4th km

Lets convert the numbers in improper fractions and then multiply and find the area:

`1(1)/(3)=((3*1)+1)/(3)=(4)/(3)`

and

`2(3)/(4)=(11)/(4)`

Now, the area:

Area =
`(4)/(3)*(11)/(4)=(11)/(3)`

This answer, again back to mixed fraction is:

`(11)/(3)=3(2)/(3)`

THus,

Area of Rectangle =
`3(2)/(3)` square kilometers
