Question

A rectangular plot of land is 1 1/2 miles wide by 2 4/5 miles long. What is the area?

Answer 1

To find the area of a plot of land, you just multiply width by length.

The width is 1 1/2, and the length is 2 4/5.

So multiply 1 1/2 by 2 4/5.

4 1/5 is what you get.

So the area is 4 1/5 miles squared.
