Question

Francesca bought a rectangular piece of fabric that is 2/3 yard long and 3/4 yard wide. What is the area, in square yards, of the piece of fabric?

Answer 1

Answer:

$area \: = length \times width \\ = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} \\ = \frac{(2 \times 3)}{(3 \times 4)} \\ = \frac{6}{12} \\ area = \frac{1}{2} square \: yards$
