Mack has a field that measures 1

square mile. He is planting corn in a rectangular region of the field that is 3/4
mile long and 1/2
mile wide.

Which is the area of the corn crop in Mack's field?

1 answer

The area of the rectangular region for the corn crop is:

A = l x w

where l is the length (3/4 mile) and w is the width (1/2 mile).

A = (3/4) x (1/2)

A = 3/8

So the area of the corn crop is 3/8 square miles.
