Answer:

The answer to your question is Area = 9 3/8

Explanation:

Data

length = 3 3/4 cm

width = 2 1/2 cm

Process

1.- Write the equation of the Area of a rectangle

Area = length x width

2.- Convert the values to improper fractions

3 3/4 = (12 + 3)/ 4 = 15/4

2 1/2 = (4 + 1) / 2 = 5/2

3.- Substitution

Area = (15/4)(5/2)

4.- Simplification

Area = 75/8

5.- Convert to a mixed fraction

9

8 75

3

6.- Result

Area = 9 3/8
