Answer 1

`93(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

The area of a bedroom floor is the width multiplied by the length. We know that the length's is
`10(2)/(3)` feet and the width is
`8(3)/(4)` feet. We just multiply the 2 fractions to find the area of her bedroom floor in feet squared

`10(2)/(3) * 8(3)/(4)`

→ There area various methods but I am going to use the improper fraction method. First convert the fractions into improper fractions

`(32)/(3) *(35)/(4)`

→ We can cancel out 4 and 32 with 1 and 8

`(8)/(3) *(35)/(1)`

→ Multiply like normal fractions

`(280)/(3)`

→ Convert into mixed fraction

`93(1)/(3)`
