Question

Ava bought a rectangular rug for her hallway. The rug is į yards wide and 2 yards long 2 3 What is the area of the rug?

Answer 1

Answer:

Concept:

The area of the rectangle is given below as

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=\text{length}\times width \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=l\times w \\ \text{where,} \\ l=2\frac{3}{4}yd \\ w=\frac{2}{3}yd \end{gathered}$

By substituting the values, we will have

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=\text{length}\times width \\ =2\frac{3}{4}yd\times\frac{2}{3}yd \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=\frac{11}{4}yd\times\frac{2}{3}yd \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=\frac{11}{6}yd^2 \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=1\frac{5}{6}yd^2 \end{gathered}$

Hence,

The final answer is

$1\frac{5}{6}yd^2$
