Answer:

the total square inches of the construction paper is 351.63 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total square inches of the construction paper is shown below;

= (16 × 15 1 ÷ 4) + (10 1 ÷2 × 10 1 ÷ 4)

= (16 × 61 ÷ 4) + (21 ÷ 2 × 41 ÷ 4)

= (16 × 15.25) + (10.5 × 10.25)

= 244 + 107.625

= 351.63 square inches

Hence, the total square inches of the construction paper is 351.63 square inches

We simply added these two
