To find the area of the garden, you need to multiply the length and width of the garden.
So, the area of the garden is (10 1/2) x (1 1/2).
First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
10 1/2 = (10 x 2 + 1) / 2 = 21/2
1 1/2 = (1 x 2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2
Now, multiply the fractions:
(21/2) x (3/2) = (21 x 3) / (2 x 2) = 63/4
To express the answer as a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator:
63 ÷ 4 = 15 remainder 3
So, the area of the garden is 15 3/4 feet.
