Answer:
11.8095238095 or 11.81
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to figure out the area of a rectangle is by multiplying the width by the length. In your case, you would multiply 5 1/6 by 2 2/7 to get 11.8095238095 but we can always round it to 11.81. I hope this helps...
Remember PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Divison, Addition and Subtraction)
Also note that Multiplication and Division needs to be done left to right and the same goes for Addition and Subtraction.
So in your problem, the first operation we need to do is division.
68 - (18/3) x 6
68 - 6 x 6
Now we do multiplication
68 - 6 x 6
68 - 36
Finally we do subtraction because that's the only operation we have left to do
68 - 36 = 32
So your answer should be 32.
