Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, multiple the width by the length.

(And simply the fractions for a simpler equation)

For piece A:
The length 1 and 3/5 can be turned into an improper fraction by multiplying 1 by the denominator (5) and adding it to the numerator (3). 1 and 3/5 = 8/5


(3/4) • (8/5) = area

Multiple the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other (3 times 8 = 24) (4 times 5 = 20)

The area of piece A is 24/20

If you do the same for piece B:

(2/5) • (21/8) = area

The answer is 42/40

Answer 2

It’s should be I think42/5
