The area of the paper used to wrap the gift is 3 3/4 square feet

<h3>How to determine the total area?</h3>

The dimension is given as:

1 1/4 by 3

The area is the product of the dimensions.

So, we have

Area = 1 1/4 * 3

Express as an improper fraction

Area = 5/4 * 3

Evaluate

Area = 15/4

Rewrite as:

Area = 3 3/4

Hence, the area of the paper used to wrap the gift is 3 3/4 square feet
