To find the area of the rectangle, we'll use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \]
Given:
- Length (L) = 8 feet
- Width (W) = \( \frac{3}{5} \) of a foot
Now, let's calculate the area:
\[ \text{Area} = 8 \, \text{ft} \times \frac{3}{5} \, \text{ft} \]
To perform the multiplication:
\[ \text{Area} = 8 \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{24}{5} \, \text{ft}^2 \]
Next, we convert \( \frac{24}{5} \) into a mixed number:
\[ \frac{24}{5} = 4 \, \text{and} \, \frac{4}{5} \]
Thus, the area of the rectangle is:
**4 and 4/5 ft²**
