Answer 1

1 3/7 miles²

Explanation:

Area = length × width

1 5/7 × 5/6

12/7 × 5/6

10/7

1 3/7

Answer 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction

`1 (5)/(7)`

`(7)/(7)+ (5)/(7)`

`(12)/(7)`

Step 2: Multiply to find the area

`(5)/(6)*(12)/(7)`

`(60)/(42)`

Step 3: Convert into a mixed number

`(60)/(42)`

`(42)/(42) + (18)/(42)`

`1 (18)/(42)`

`1(3)/(7)`

Answer:
`1(3)/(7)`
