Part A:
To calculate the area of the garden, you would multiply the width (2 2/3 feet) by the length (7 3/4 feet).
Area = 2 2/3 * 7 3/4
Area = (8/3) * (31/4)
Part B:
To find 56% of the area, you would first find 56% as a decimal (0.56) and then multiply this decimal by the area calculated in Part A.
