Question

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 3/4 yard and width of 5/6 yard?

Answer 1

Put the numbers into the area of a rectangleformula and multiply the numerator then multiply the denominators, then take out common factors to simplify.

area of a rectangle = length • width
a = l • w
a = 3/4 • 5/6
a = 15/24
a = 5/8 yard^2
