Question

Area of 2 1/4 by 3 1/2

Answer 1

Hey there!

2 1/4 = 9/4

3 1/2 = 7/2

9 x 7 = 63

4 x 2 = 8

= 63/8

Simplifying 63/8 . . .

63/8 = 7 7/8

2 1/4 * 3 1/2 = 7 7/8

Area = 7 7/8

I hope this helps you!

Answer 2

$\boxed {\boxed {\text {Area = Length x Width}}}$

$\text {Area =} 2 \dfrac{1}{4} \times 3 \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\text {Area =} \dfrac{9}{4} \times \dfrac{7}{2}$

$\text {Area =} \dfrac{63}{8}$

$\text {Area =} 7\dfrac{7}{8} \text { units}^2$
