A stamp is 7/8 inches wide by 3/4 inches long. If Henry puts 3 stamps on an envelope, what is the total area, in square units, of his stamps?**

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\bold{\dfrac{63}{32}\ sq\ inches}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Width of stamp = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] inches

Length of stamp = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches

It is well known that a stamp is in the form of a rectangular shape.

Area of a rectangular shape is given by the following formula:

[tex]Area = Width\times Length[/tex]

Also, there are 3 identical stamps on the envelop, therefore we need to find the area of one stamp and then multiply it with 3 to find the required area.

Required area:

[tex]3\times \dfrac{7}{8}\times \dfrac{3}{4}\\\Rightarrow \bold{\dfrac{63}{32}\ sq\ inches}[/tex]
