To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length of the field is 2/3 mile and the width is 3/4 mile.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator.
So, the area of the rectangular field can be calculated as:
(2/3 mile) × (3/4 mile) = (2 × 3) / (3 × 4) mile²
Simplifying the multiplication and keeping the units squared gives:
6 / 12 mile²
However, to express the answer in simplest terms, we can further reduce the fraction. Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 6. Dividing both by 6 gives:
1 / 2 mile²
Therefore, the area of the rectangular field is 1/2 square mile.
