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.
It takes the car 2 hours to travel 140 miles.
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
