Question

Zev is planting a garden. The garden is 10 1/3 yards long and 8 yards wide. What is the area of the garden?

Answer 1

Answer: 82 2/3 yards squared

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for area is l × w = A. Because of this, you need to multiply the two numbers.

1. Make 10 1/3 into an improper fraction.

10 1/3 = 31/3

2. Multiply!

31/3 × 8/1 = 248/3

3. Simplify

3 goes into 248 82 times with 2 left over (82 2/3)
