Answer 1

Answer:

$93\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a bedroom floor is the width multiplied by the length. We know that the length's is $10\frac{2}{3}$ feet and the width is $8\frac{3}{4}$ feet. We just multiply the 2 fractions to find the area of her bedroom floor in feet squared

$10\frac{2}{3} * 8\frac{3}{4}$

→ There area various methods but I am going to use the improper fraction method. First convert the fractions into improper fractions

$\frac{32}{3} *\frac{35}{4}$

→ We can cancel out 4 and 32 with 1 and 8

$\frac{8}{3} *\frac{35}{1}$

→ Multiply like normal fractions

$\frac{280}{3}$

→ Convert into mixed fraction

$93\frac{1}{3}$
