To find the Area you need to use the formula L x W!! Anyways, You have to multiply the Length x the width. Your Length is 1 3/4 and your width is 1 1/2. So 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 is 2 5/8!!
If you're looking for a fraction:
Think of it this way, the 9 is in the 10th place. The 6 is in front of the decimal. So, it's 69/10. The 10 takes the place of the 9, the "/" is the decimal moved to the right one space.
Or
If you're looking for a mixed number:
You basically split the above fraction "69/10" up into two separate pieces. So, it's
6 9/10.
1/3 is the correct answer simplified
2w + 8 = 13
Subtract 8 from both sides.
2w = 5
Divide both sides by 2.
w = 5/2
