Question

A rectangular field has dimension of 91 feet by 60 and 1/3 feet what is the area of the field

Answer 1

Answer:

Area = $91*\frac{181}{3}=5490\frac{1}{3}$ square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

A = length * width

Where length is 91 feet and width is $60\frac{1}{3}$  feet

Before we do the multiplication, we have to change the mixed number [width] into an improper fraction by using the rule shown below:

$a\frac{b}{c}=\frac{(a*c)+b}{c}$

Hence,

$60\frac{1}{3}=\frac{181}{3}$

So, the area is:

Area = $91*\frac{181}{3}=5490\frac{1}{3}$ square feet
