Question

A rectangle is 2 4/5 M wide and 3 and 1/2 meters long what is its area

Answer 1

2 4/5=14/5, 3 1/2=7/2
A=l*w
14/5*7/2=98/10
98/10=9 8/10, 9 4/5
A= 9 4/5

Answer: Its area is 9 4/5m^2

Answer 2

Hey there!!

The area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

Length is given by :

$3\frac{1}{2}$

Converting this into improper fraction would be :

$\frac{7}{2}$

The breadth is given by :

$2\frac{4}{5}$

Converting this into improper fraction, we get :

$\frac{14}{5}$

Now, Area =

$\frac{7}{2} * \frac{14}{5}$

Area = $\frac{98}{10}$

Converting this into mixed fraction we get :

$9\frac{8}{10}$

Hope my answer helps!!
