Answer:

8 1/8 ft^2

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by

A = l*w

A = 3 1/4 * 2 1/2

Change to improper fractions

3 1/4 = (4*3+1)/4 = 13/4

2 1/2 = (2*2+1)/2 = 5/2

A = 13/4 * 5/2 = 65/8

Changing back to a mixed number

8 goes into 65 8 times (8*8=64) with 1 left over

65/8 = 8 1/8 ft^2
