a rectangle has a length of 3 yds, 8 in. and a width 2 ft., 3 in. multiply the lenth and width to find the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

Let's change these measurements to feet.

3 yds., 8 inches = 9 2/3 ft.

2 ft, 3 inches = 2 1/4 ft

9 2/3 * 2 1/4 = 29/3 * 9/4 = 261/12 = 21 3/4 square feet

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

It sure would have helped if you'd given the choices of answers in the first place!!

Obviously, the correct answer is not b or d.

Change the measurements to inches and then find the answer.
