Question

A furniture maker is building a bookshelf she needs to cut rectangular pieces of wood to a length of 5/12 foot and a width of 2/3 foot what is the area of a piece of wood that size

Answer 1

We Know, Area = Length * Width
Here, L = 5/12
W = 2/3

Substitute it into the expression,
A = 5/12 * 2/3
A = 10/36
A = 5/18 ft²

So, the area of the wood would be 5/18 ft²

Hope this helps!
