Find the area of the rectangle by multiplying the side lengths.

A rectangle with a length of one-fourth units and a width of seven-eighths units.

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length by the width.

The length is one-fourth units and the width is seven-eighths units.

Area = length * width

Area = (1/4) * (7/8)

To simplify this, we can multiply the numerators and the denominators:

Area = (1 * 7) / (4 * 8) = 7/32

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 7/32 square units.
