Question

Draw a rectangle that is 3 squares long and 1/2 of a square wide. Then add up the partial squares to find the area. Multiply to check your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

3/2 or 1 1/2 squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

It says it on the image attached. Also, it's what you get when you multiply

$3*\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer 2

Explanation:

P.S: Rectangle attached in image.

According to the image, we can see that 3 rectangles are half shaded.

This means that:

• Half shaded square + Half shaded square + Half shaded square
• => 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5
• => 1.5 units²

Check:

To check our answer:

• 3 x 0.5 = Area of rectangle
• => 1.5 units² = Area of rectangle

Hence, our explanation is correct.
