Jade is painting a rectangular wall. The wall is 4 1/4 yd long and 2 2/3 yd high.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is A=bh.
What is the area of the wall?
I think the answer is 11 and one thirds.
Right.
To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the height.
In this case, the length of the wall is 4 1/4 yards, which can be written as 4.25 yards.
The height of the wall is 2 2/3 yards, which can be written as 2.67 yards.
Now, we can use the formula A = bh to find the area.
A = 4.25 yards * 2.67 yards
A = 11.3775 square yards
Rounding the answer to the nearest whole number, the area of the wall is approximately 11 square yards.
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the length (b) by the height (h), using the formula A = bh.
In this case, the length of the wall is given as 4 1/4 yd, which can also be written as 4.25 yd. The height of the wall is given as 2 2/3 yd, which can also be written as 2.67 yd.
Now, multiply the length and height:
Area = 4.25 yd * 2.67 yd
To multiply decimals or fractions, you can use a calculator or convert them to equivalent decimals. Since 2/3 is 0.67 in decimal form, the calculation becomes:
Area = 4.25 yd * 0.67 yd
Multiplying these values together, we get:
Area = 2.8475 yd²
Now, you can either keep the answer as a decimal or convert it back to a mixed number if needed. In this case, 2.8475 can be approximated as 2 11/40. So, the area of the wall is 2 11/40 square yards.
