Answer 1

Answer:

$125.9 ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Missing question:

An artist is making a rectangular canvas for a custom painting. the canvas has a width of 9 1/2 feet and a length of 13 1/4 feet . what is the area of canvas in square feet?

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula

$A=L\cdot w$ (1)

where

A is the area

L is the length

w is the width

In this problem, we have a rectangular canvas, so we want to find its area.

We know that:

$w=9\frac{1}{2}ft$ is the width, converting into an improper fraction,

$w=\frac{9\cdot 2+1}{2}=\frac{19}{2}$ ft

$L=13\frac{1}{4}ft$ is the length, converting into improper fraction,

$L=\frac{13\cdot 4+1}{4}=\frac{53}{4}$ ft

Substituting into eq (1), we can find the area of the canvas:

$A=\frac{19}{2}\cdot \frac{53}{4}=\frac{1007}{8}=125.9 ft^2$
