Question

Select all the rectangles that have an area of 15/24 square inches.

Answer 1

• B
• D

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle

• Base x Height

Rectangle B

• 3/8 x 5/3 = 15/24 square inches

Rectangle D

• 5/4 x 3/6 = 15/24 square inches

Answer 2

Options B and D

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the area of Option A

`A = l * w`

`A = (5/8\ in) * (10/3\ in)`

`A = 50/24\ in^2`

`A = 25/12\ in^2`

Step 2: Determine the area of Option B

`A = l * w`

`A = (5/3\ in) * (3/8\ in)`

`A = 15/24\ in^2`

Step 3: Determine the area of Option C

`A = l * w`

`A = (8/6\ in) * (7/4\ in)`

`A = 56/24\ in^2`

`A = 7/3\ in^2`

Step 4: Determine the are of Option D

`A = l * w`

`A = (3/6\ in) * (5/4\ in)`

`A = 15/24\ in^2`

Step 5: Determine the area of Option E

`A = l * w`

`A = (5/15\ in) * (3/9\ in)`

`A = 15/135\ in^2`

`A = 1/9\ in^2`

Answer: Options B and D
