Question

Nancy's garden has the dimensions shown 4 1/2 yard 3 3/4 yd . She need find the area

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of Nancy's garden is $16\frac{7}{8}\ yd^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that the Nancy's garden is a rectangle shape

To find the area first convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$4\frac{1}{2}\ yd=\frac{4*2+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}\ yd$

$3\frac{3}{4}\ yd=\frac{3*4+3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}\ yd$

Therefore

The area is equal to

$A=\frac{9}{2}*\frac{15}{4}=\frac{135}{8}\ yd^{2}$

convert to mixed number

$\frac{135}{8}\ yd^{2=\frac{128}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=16\frac{7}{8}\ yd^{2}$
