Part A:
To calculate the area of the garden, you need to multiply the width by the length. In this case, the width is 2 and two-thirds feet, which can also be written as 2.67 feet. The length is 7 and three-fourths feet, which can also be written as 7.75 feet. So, the area of the garden is 2.67 feet * 7.75 feet = 20.7075 square feet.
Part B:
To find 56% of the area of the garden, you would multiply the area by 0.56. This is because 56% is equivalent to 0.56 as a decimal. So, no further calculations are needed, you just need to multiply the area by 0.56 to find the desired portion.
