Question

Television screen is 2 1/3 feet long and 2 2/5 feet wide. What is the total area of the screen

Answer 1

Area+ length times width.
Make them improper and multiply.
12/5 and 7/3. Then you multiply

Answer 2

The length given is $2\frac{1}{3}$ feet

The width given is $2\frac{2}{5}$ feet

Since, the dimensions given are length and width only, we know that the television screen is a rectangle. Now, we know that the area of a rectangle is given by:

Area = length x width

Therefore, Area=$2\frac{1}{3}$ feet x $2\frac{2}{5}$ feet

Area=$\frac{7}{3}\times \frac{12}{5}=\frac{84}{15}=5\frac{3}{5}$ squared feet.

Thus, the total area of the television screen is $5\frac{3}{5}$ $ft^2$
