Bella sells a jewelry at a market. She cuts out a rectangular piece of wood for a necklace display. The lenght of the piece of wood is 3/4 foot. The width of the piece of wood is 1/3 foot. What is the area, in square feet, of the piece of wood bella cuts out
as always, length * width = (3/4)(1/3) = 1/4
(1/3)(3/4) = 3/12 = 1/4 square foot
To find the area of the piece of wood, we can multiply the length and width measurements together.
First, let's convert the length and width from fractions to decimals for easier calculation.
The length of the wood is 3/4 foot. To convert this fraction into a decimal, divide 3 by 4:
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
The width of the wood is 1/3 foot. To convert this fraction into a decimal, divide 1 by 3:
1 ÷ 3 ≈ 0.33
Now, we can multiply the length (0.75) by the width (0.33) to find the area:
0.75 × 0.33 = 0.2475
Therefore, the area of the piece of wood that Bella cuts out for the necklace display is approximately 0.2475 square feet.
