Question

I need to know the answer rn

Answer 1

Answer: 6 3/16

Step-by-step 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

Answer:

$\displaystyle \large{6\dfrac{3}{16} \ \tt{in^2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\displaystyle \large{A=\tt{width \cdot length}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{A=2\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2\dfrac{1}{4}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{A=\dfrac{11}{4}\cdot \dfrac{9}{4}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{A=\dfrac{99}{16} = 6\dfrac{3}{16}}$

Hence, the area is $\displaystyle \large{6\dfrac{3}{16}}$ in²
