Question

7 1/2 long and 5 inches wide what is the area

Answer 1

To calculate the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width.

Given:
- Length = 7 1/2 inches = 7.5 inches
- Width = 5 inches

Now, calculate the area:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 7.5 \, \text{inches} \times 5 \, \text{inches} = 37.5 \, \text{square inches}
\]

So, the area is 37.5 square inches.
