Question

Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper that measure 8 1/2 inches by 11 from a large sheet that has an area of 1,000 square inches. What is the area of each pieces that jodi is cutting out as a decimal.

Answer 1

we know that

Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper that measure $8\frac{1}{2}$ inches by $11$ inches

The area of each piece that jodi is cutting out is equal to the area of a rectangle

so

To calculate the area

Multiply $8\frac{1}{2}$ by $11$

$8\frac{1}{2} =8.5$

$8.5*11=93.5$ inches²

therefore

the answer is

$93.5inches^{2}$

Answer 2

93.5 square inches. 
The 1000 doesn't matter. Just multiply 8.5 and 11
