Answer:
Total area of the flag is 9.375 feet in decimal form.
Total area of the flag is 75/8 feet in fraction form
Total area of the flag is 9 3/8 feet in mixed fraction form
Explanation:
No of panel's of Fabric = 3
Length of each panel = 2 1/2 feet
converting mixed fraction into normal fraction 2 1/2 = (2*2 + 1)/2 = 5/2
Length of each panel = 5/2 feet
__________________________________________
Width of each panel = 1 1/4 feet
converting mixed fraction into normal fraction 1 1/4 = (1*4 + 1)/4 = 5/4
Width of each panel = 5/4 feet .\
______________________________________
area of rectangle is given by length * width
since panel is rectangular
Area of one panel = Length of each panel * Width of each panel
substituting value of length and width we have
Area of one panel = 5/2 * 5/4 = 25/8 square feet.
Area of 3 panel = 3 * 25/8 square feet = 75/8 feet = 9.375 feet
Area of 3 panel in mixed fraction = 9 3/8 feet.
