Question

Mr.Cunningham built himself an ice rink that is 14 and 2/5 meters long and 6 and 7/8 meters wide. What is the area of the ice rink Mr.Cunningham built?

Answer 1

Answer: 99 sq., meters.

Explanation:

Given: For ice rink, Length =
`14\frac25\text{meters}=(14*5+2)/(5)=(72)/(5)\text{meters}`

Width =
`6\frac78\text{meters}=(8*6+7)/(8)=(55)/(8)\text{meters}`

Now, Area of ice rink = length x width

`=(72)/(5)*(55)/(8)=(9)/(1)*(11)/(1)=99\text{ sq. meters}`

Hence, the area of the ice rink Mr.Cunningham built = 99 sq., meters.
