Answer: [tex]11\frac{7}{21}[/tex] [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle = Length x Width
L = [tex]5\frac{1}{6} cm[/tex]
W = [tex]2\frac{2}{7} cm[/tex]
- To multiply mixed numbers, you must first change them to an improper fraction
- To turn a mixed number to an improper fraction multiply 'Z' to 'y' and add 'x'. [tex]Z\frac{x}{y}[/tex]. For example [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = (2 x 4)+3 = [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex]
L = (5 x 6)+1 = [tex]\frac{31}{6} cm[/tex]
W = (2 x 7)+2 = [tex]\frac{16}{7}cm[/tex]
Area = [tex]\frac{31}{6} cm[/tex] x [tex]\frac{16}{7}cm[/tex] = [tex]\frac{496}{42} cm[/tex] (simplified = [tex]\frac{248}{21}cm[/tex]) = [tex]11\frac{17}{21}cm^{2}[/tex]
