- area = 7 4/5 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement tells you that the area is found by multiplying length times width:
area = length × width . . . . . . equation to find the area
Filling in the given numbers and doing the arithmetic, we find the area of the rectangle to be ...
area = (3 3/5 ft)(2 1/6 ft) = (18/5)(13/6) ft² = 39/5 ft² = 7 4/5 ft²
The area of the rectangle is 7 4/5 square feet.
