Split the shape in 3 rectangles
4x2=8x2= 16 ( the bottom and top rectangle)
6x2= 12 (middle rectangle)
16+12=28
Find the number that both can be divided by i.e. the common denominator of 56/8 is 8 because 56 is divisible by 8 and 8 is also divisible by 8.
so by finding the common denominator and dividing the fraction, the equation would look like this: 7/1
1,800square ft/$1,200
1.5 square ft for $1
Now to find the area of mr. halloran’s office
$18,000/12 months = $1,500 per month
$1,500•1.5 sqft = 2,250 square feet
So mr. Halloran’s office area is 2,250 square feet and he pays $1,500 per month
It is an irrational number
