Question

The new apple display is 19 7⁄20 inches in height and 25 7⁄10 inches in width. What is the area of the apple display?

Answer 1

Answer:

$A=497.295in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

A display is geometrically a rectangle. So, the area of the apple display is given by:

$A=w*h$

Where:

$w=width\\h=height$

First, let's convert those mixed numbers into fractions,  we can do it using the following equation:

$a \frac{b}{c} =\frac{a*c+b}{c}$

Hence:

$w=25\frac{7}{10} =\frac{25*10+7}{10} =\frac{257}{10} =25.7in$

$h=w=19\frac{7}{20} =\frac{19*20+7}{20} =\frac{387}{20} =19.35in$

Therefore, the area of the new apple display is:

$A=(19.35)*(25.7)=497.295in^2$
