a rectangle has length 3 feet and width 1/4 foot. What is the area of the rectangle? I think it is 3 x 4 equals 12 feet. Is this correct?
I am pretty sure it is 3*1/4=3/4 but please check it anyways.
I think it is 12 because originally in the problem it asks for division but you find the reciprocal and that means you change the 1/4 to 4/1 and you multiply so you end up multiplying 3/1 and 4/1 because you make the 3 = 3/1 so 3x4 is 12 and 1x1 is 1 so you would end up with 12/1 which is equal to 12.

a rectangle with the length of 3 feet and a width 1/4 some people might divide some people might multiply the right answer is to multiply so 3x4=12 or 4+4+4=12 or 3+3+3+3=12 it is 12 the area is twelve
It’s 3/4
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is given as 3 feet, and the width is given as 1/4 foot.
To proceed, note that the width is given as a fraction. In order to multiply it with the length, it's easier to convert the fraction to a decimal number. To do this, divide 1 by 4: 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25.
Now, you can multiply the length (3) by the width (0.25): 3 × 0.25 = 0.75.
So, the area of the rectangle is 0.75 square feet, not 12 feet.
No.
3 * (1/4) = ?
