Question

I need to know the answer rn

Answer 1

Answer: 6 3/16

Explanation:

So the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is length * width

With decimal form:
Length = 2.25 inches
width = 2.75 inches

2.25 * 2.75 = 6.1875 inches2

With fractional form:

2 1/4 = 9/4

2 3/4 = 11/4

9/4 * 11 / 4 = 99/16

99/16 = 6 3/16 inches2

Answer 2

`\displaystyle \large{6(3)/(16) \ \tt{in^2}}`

Explanation:

The formula for area of rectangle is width * length. Therefore:

`\displaystyle \large{A=\tt{width \cdot length}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{A=2(3)/(4)\cdot 2(1)/(4)}\\\\\displaystyle \large{A=(11)/(4)\cdot (9)/(4)}\\\\\displaystyle \large{A=(99)/(16) = 6(3)/(16)}`

Hence, the area is
`\displaystyle \large{6(3)/(16)}` in²
