Answer 1

`125.9 ft^2`

Explanation:

Missing question:

An artist is making a rectangular canvas for a custom painting. the canvas has a width of 9 1/2 feet and a length of 13 1/4 feet . what is the area of canvas in square feet?

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula

`A=L\cdot w` (1)

where

A is the area

L is the length

w is the width

In this problem, we have a rectangular canvas, so we want to find its area.

We know that:

`w=9(1)/(2)ft` is the width, converting into an improper fraction,

`w=(9\cdot 2+1)/(2)=(19)/(2)` ft

`L=13(1)/(4)ft` is the length, converting into improper fraction,

`L=(13\cdot 4+1)/(4)=(53)/(4)` ft

Substituting into eq (1), we can find the area of the canvas:

`A=(19)/(2)\cdot (53)/(4)=(1007)/(8)=125.9 ft^2`
