What fraction of a square mile is a field that is 1/2 mile long and 1/4 mile wide?

Area of what I assume is supposed to be a rectangle is

(1/2)(1/4) = 1/8 of a square mile

Well, let me do some calculations while keeping my clown makeup intact! To find the area of the field, we multiply the length by the width. So, 1/2 mile x 1/4 mile equals... wait for it... 1/8 square mile! So, the hilarious fraction we're left with is 1/8 square mile. That's the perfect size for some clown shenanigans, don't you think?

To find the fraction of a square mile, we need to determine the area of the field and divide it by the total area of a square mile.

The given field is 1/2 mile long and 1/4 mile wide.
To find the area, we multiply the length and the width:
Area = Length x Width

Area = 1/2 mile x 1/4 mile
= 1/8 square mile

The total area of a square mile is 1 square mile.

To find the fraction, we divide the area of the field by the total area of a square mile:
Fraction = Area of the field / Total area of a square mile

Fraction = (1/8 square mile) / (1 square mile)
= 1/8

Therefore, the field is 1/8 of a square mile.

To find the fraction of a square mile that the field occupies, we need to compare the area of the field to the total area of a square mile.

First, let's determine the area of the field. The length of the field is 1/2 mile, and the width is 1/4 mile. To find the area, we need to multiply the length by the width:

Area of the field = length x width
= (1/2 mile) x (1/4 mile)
= 1/8 square mile

Next, we need to find the total area of a square mile, using the fact that 1 mile is equal to 1 square mile.

Total area of a square mile = 1 square mile

Now, to find the fraction of a square mile that the field occupies, we divide the area of the field by the total area of a square mile:

Fraction of a square mile = Area of the field / Total area of a square mile
= (1/8 square mile) / (1 square mile)
= 1/8

Therefore, the field that is 1/2 mile long and 1/4 mile wide occupies 1/8 of a square mile.

Idk and need help!
