Answer 1

Answer:

A = 2/15 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply length times width

A = l*w

A = 2/5 * 1/3

A = 2/15 in^2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\sf area=\dfrac{2}{15} \ in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = width x length

Given:

• $\sf length=\dfrac25$
• $\sf width=\dfrac13$

Substitute these values into the equation are solve:

$\sf \implies area=\dfrac13 \times \dfrac25$

$\sf \implies area=\dfrac{1 \times 2}{3 \times 5}$

$\sf \implies area=\dfrac{2}{15} \ in^2$
