Your question is not too clearly typed.
1_3/4 times 2_5/8 indicates that we are dealing with a rectangle where the length is the bigger length and the width is the shorter length.
2_5/8 when expressed an an improper fraction becomes 21/8 and 1_3/4 becomes 7/4.
From the given data, we learn that 21/8 must be the length and 7/4 is the width of the rectangle.
The scale given is 1 foot = 1/8 inch.
To find what this rectangle equals in terms of feet, we divide 21/8 and 7/4 by the given scale or 1/8.
21/8 divided by 1/8 = 21 feet = longest side; 7/4 divided by 1/8 = 14 feet = shortest side.
