-2/9 is greater than -4/9.

Because: since both numbers are negatives, then the one that is the closest to zero, is bigger.

Greater than! With negative numbers, the number closer to 0 is always the greater value. The number farther away from 0 is the lesser value. When we compare fractions with the same denominator, we have to compare to numerator. -2 is greater than -4, therefore -2/9 is greater than -4/9.

Answer: $(2.78+4.81)(2.78+5.61)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is attached.</h3><h3></h3>

The area of a rectangle can be calculated with this formula:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Then, you can notice that it can be obtained by multiplying the dimensions of the rectangle.

Knowing this, you can determine that the total area of the two flowers bed can be obtained by adding the products of their dimensions.

Since one of the rectangular flower bed is 2.78 feet by 4.81 feet and the other bed 2.78 feet by 5.61 feet, you can write the following expression to find the total area (in square feet)of the two beds:

$2.78*4.81 +2.78*5.61$
