A rectangle has a length of 3/8 foot and a width of 2/3 foot what is the area of the rectangle. Is the answer 1/4 square feet
Correct.
what is a rectangle that has a length of 2.3 in and a width with 4.9 in
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply its length by its width.
In this case, the length of the rectangle is 3/8 foot and the width is 2/3 foot.
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) and then multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom). So, the area can be calculated as:
Area = (3/8) * (2/3)
Multiplying the numerators gives us 3 * 2 = 6.
Multiplying the denominators gives us 8 * 3 = 24.
So, the area of the rectangle is 6/24 square feet.
However, we should simplify the fraction to its simplest form. Both 6 and 24 can be divided by 6, so we have:
Area = (6/6) * (1/4)
Simplifying the fraction gives us 1/4.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1/4 square feet.
