To find the area of the parallelogram, use the formula:


A = bh


A = area

b = base

h = height


Plug in the corresponding number to each place.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A = (2.5)(1.25)


Simplify


2.5 x 1.25 = 3.125

Round: 3.125 = 3.13

Area = 3.13

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


However, you want it in fraction form.


3.13 = 3 + 0.13


0.13 = 13/100


3 13/100


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 13/100 ft²is your mixed fraction answer

Hey!


Let's change both decimals to improper fractions since you want your answer as a fraction.


[tex] 2.5 = \frac{5}{2} [/tex]


[tex] 1.25 = \frac{5}{4} [/tex]


Now multiply


[tex] \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{25}{8} = 3 \frac{1}{8} [/tex]


[tex] \framebox{Answer = 25/8 or 3 1/8 square feet} [/tex]
