Question

The rectangle is 3 3⁄4 centimeters long and 2 1⁄2 centimeters wide. What is the area of this rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is    Area = 9 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 3 3/4 cm

width = 2 1/2 cm

Process

1.- Write the equation of the Area of a rectangle

   Area = length x width

2.- Convert the values to improper fractions

     3 3/4 = (12 + 3)/ 4 = 15/4

     2 1/2 = (4 + 1) / 2 = 5/2

3.- Substitution

      Area = (15/4)(5/2)

4.- Simplification

      Area = 75/8

5.- Convert to a mixed fraction

                       9

                8   75              

                        3

6.- Result

   Area = 9 3/8
