Question

Find the area of a rectangle with a length of 5 feet and a width of 4 5/9 feet. Write the answer as a fraction and as a decimal. Use three consecutive points to show repeating decimals, if necessary

Answer 1

22.7.....feet^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the length is 5 feet

and also the width is given in fractional form as 4 5/9

let's convert to decimal 4+0.55= 4.555555555555555

the width is a repeating decimal hence width = 4.5...feet

Step two:

The expression for the area is

A= lenght * width

A= 5*4.5

A=22.7...feet ^2

The area of the rectangle is 22.7 feet^2
