Question

The label was 5/12 foot wide and 5/6 foot long. What was the area, in square feet, of the label?

Answer 1

Answer: The area of label was
`(25)/(72)` square feet .

Explanation:

Given : Width of a label =
`(5)/(12)` foot

Length of label =
`(5)/(6)` foot

Therefore Label is form of a rectangle

Now as we know area of a rectangle is given by

`Area = length * breadth\\\\\Rightarrow Area =(5)/(6) * (5)/(12) =(25)/(72) (feet) ^2`

Hence, the area of label was
`(25)/(72)` square feet .
