Answer 1

Area of Jhons planter is 164.89 square inches

Solution:

Given that,

Jhons garden has a big planter that measures $18\frac{2}{3}$ in by $8 \frac{5}{6}$ inches

To find: area of Jhons planter

From given information,

$\text{ length } = 18\frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 \times 18 + 2}{3} = \frac{56}{3} \text{ inches }$

$\text{ width } = 8\frac{5}{6} = \frac{6 \times 8 + 5}{6} = \frac{53}{6} \text{ inches }$

The area of planter is given as:

$area = length \times width$

$area = \frac{56}{3} \times \frac{53}{6} = \frac{2968}{18} = 164.89$

Thus area of Jhons planter is 164.89 square inches
