Question

The new apple display is 19 7⁄20 inches in height and 25 7⁄10 inches in width. What is the area of the apple display?

Answer 1

`A=497.295in^2`

Explanation:

A display is geometrically a rectangle. So, the area of the apple display is given by:

`A=w*h`

Where:

`w=width\\h=height`

First, let's convert those mixed numbers into fractions, we can do it using the following equation:

`a (b)/(c) =(a*c+b)/(c)`

Hence:

`w=25(7)/(10) =(25*10+7)/(10) =(257)/(10) =25.7in`

`h=w=19(7)/(20) =(19*20+7)/(20) =(387)/(20) =19.35in`

Therefore, the area of the new apple display is:

`A=(19.35)*(25.7)=497.295in^2`
