6/8 *3/2.
6*3=18. /8*2=16
18/16
Divide top and bottom by 2
9/8
The area of the rectangle is simply width times length.
Hence, A = w*l = (6/5)*12 = 72/5 = 14.4 square inches (ANSWER)
They are <em><u>not</u></em><u> </u>equivalent. When you <em>distribute the 1/4</em>, the <em><u>expressions are different</u></em>.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of Rectangle = bh = 16 ft x 18 ft = 288 
Area of Triangle = 1/2 bh = 1/2 x (16-12) ft x (6) ft x 2 (There's 2 triangles) = 24 
24 ft^2 + 288 ft^2 = 312 ft^2
