Question

A rectangle painting is 2 feet long and 5/6 foot wide what is the area of the painting

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

In this case, the length of the painting is 2 feet and the width is \(\frac{5}{6}\) foot. Plugging in these values:

\[
\text{Area} = 2 \, \text{feet} \times \frac{5}{6} \, \text{feet}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{2 \times 5}{6} = \frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3} \, \text{square feet}
\]

So, the area of the painting is \(\frac{5}{3}\) square feet, which is approximately 1.67 square feet when expressed as a decimal.
