Question

Miguel ordered a rectangular print for his bedroom. The print is 7/8 feet wide and 1 3/5 feet long. What is the area of the print. Answer as a mixed number in simplest form?

Answer 1

Answer:

A = $1\frac{2}{5}$ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

A = l x w, where 'l' is the length and 'w' is the width

Given the dimensions of the print:

w = $\frac{7}{8}$

l = $1\frac{3}{5}=\frac{8}{5}$

A = $\frac{7}{8}*\frac{8}{5}=\frac{56}{40}=1\frac{16}{40}=1\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 2
