Question

James measured a piece of construction paper to be 6 3/4 inches wide and 9 2/3 inches long. What is the area of the piece of construction paper in square inches

Answer 1

The area of the piece of construction paper is
`(261)/(4) inches^2`

Explanation:

Length of construction paper =
`6 (3)/(4) inches`

=
`(27)/(4) inches`

Width of construction paper =
`9 (2)/(3) inches`

=
`(29)/(3) inches`

Area of construction paper =
`Length * Width`

Area of construction paper =
`(27)/(4) * (29)/(3)`

=
`(261)/(4) inches^2`

Hence the area of the piece of construction paper is
`(261)/(4) inches^2`
