The width of a rectangle is 3/5 of a foot and the length is 8 feet. What is the area?
To find the area of a rectangle, you can use the formula:
Area = length x width
Given that the width is 3/5 of a foot and the length is 8 feet, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Area = 8 feet x (3/5) feet
Area = 8 feet x 0.6 feet
Area = 4.8 square feet
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 4.8 square feet.
