The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle. In this case, the length (the longer side) is 2 2/3 feet while the width (shorter side) is 1 2/3 feet. To multiply fraction, first convert mixed numbers into improper fractions:
2 2/3 = 8/3
1 2/3 = 5/3
Multiplying the two fractions yield:
8/3 x 5/3 = 40/9 ft2
The final answer is 40/9 ft2 or 4 4/9 ft2.

Convert the two fractions into simpler fractions: 3 2/5 --> 17/5 and 4 1/5 --> 21/5. Notice the the denominators are identical, so we simply add the numerators: (17 + 21)/5 = 38/5 = 7 3/5.
There is an easier way to do this, this is just the most clear way of seeing everything.

Yes he would be able to because the guy could just put it a a diagonal angle and it would fit but it you can't do that then no it wouldn't fit
