Area is equal to width times height.

Height = .5 feet
Width = .75 feet

Area = (.75)(.5)= .375 feet^2

Area is always measured as a unit of measure squared.

Area of a rectangle = length x width

A = 1/2 x 3/4
A = 3/8 ft

The answer is 3/8 feet :)

Jason ran 5/7 of the distance around the school track. Sara ran 4/5 of Jason's distance. What fraction of the total distance aro

masha68 [24]

Jason: 5/7
Sara: 4/5

Think of it this way: if the total track is a mile, and Jason runs 5/7 of it, he has run 5/7 of a mile. Then Sara runs 4/5 OF 5/7, with "of" meaning "times," so she runs 4/5 x 5/7, which gives you 20/35, which simplifies to 4/7. You can also think of Sara's distance as 80 percent of Jason's. If she runs "80 percent of the sevenths that Jason ran," that means she ran 4 out of his 5 sevenths.
