Question

at the Middleton school festival, a test covers a rectagularspace 30 1/2 yards long and 9 1/3 yards wide. what is the area, in square yards,covered by the tent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiply the length times width:

30 1/2 x 9 1/3= 284.6

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, the area of the rectangular space is:

                          284.6667 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the length(l) of the rectangular space is: $30\frac{1}{2}\ yard$ .

which in improper fraction is: $\dfrac{61}{2}\ yard$

Similarly, the width(b) of the rectangular space is: $9\frac{1}{3}\ yard$

which in improper fraction is: $\dfrac{28}{3}\ yard$

As we know that the area of the rectangular space is calculated as:

$Area=l\times b\\\\\\Area=\dfrac{61}{2}\times \dfrac{28}{3}\ \text{square\ yards}\\\\\\Area=284.6667\ \text{square\ yards}$

 Hence, Area is: 284.6667 square yards.
