Question

Lucas cut a board that is 3 1/5 ft. long and 3 1/3 ft. wide. What is the area of the board? Express your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

First let have these mixed number to improper fractions.
3 1/5 = 16/5
3 1/3 = 10/3
A=l×w
16/5 × 10/3 = 160/15

Answer 2

3 1/5 x 3 1/3
= 16/5 x 10/3
= 32/3
= 10 2/3
