A rectangle is 2 4/5 meters wide and 3 1/2 meters long. what is the area

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is multiplying the length and width.

So..

L x W = A
3 1/2 x 2 4/5 = 9 4/5

The area of the rectangle is 9 4/5 meters².

Answer 2

Area = length x width

2 4/5 is equivalent to 2.8
3 1/2 is equivalent to 3.5

2.8*3.5 = 9.8
