Question

Brent is designing a poster that has an area of 1 sq.ft. He is going to paste a photo collage on a section of the poster that is 1⁄3 foot wide and 3⁄5 foot long. ​What part of a square foot will the photo collage cover?

Answer 1

`(1)/(5) $ square foot.`

Explanation:

Area of the Poster =1 sq.ft.

The collage will cover a part of the poster that is
`(1)/(3) ft.$ wide and (3)/(5) ft.$ long.`

Area of the Photo Collage Section

=Length X Width

`=(1)/(3) X (3)/(5) \\\\=(1)/(5) $ square foot.`

`\text{Therefore, the photo collage will cover }(1)/(5) $ of a square foot.`
