To find the area of the garden, we multiply the length by the width.
Length: 10 1/3 feet
Width: 1 1/2 feet
To simplify the calculation, let's convert the lengths to improper fractions.
Length: 10 1/3 = 31/3 feet
Width: 1 1/2 = 3/2 feet
Now, let's multiply the fractions to find the area:
Area = 31/3 * 3/2
= (31*3)/(3*2)
= 93/6
To convert the area to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (93) by the denominator (6):
93 รท 6 = 15 remainder 3
So the area of the garden is 15 3/6 square feet. Simplifying the fraction further, we get:
15 3/6 = 15 1/2
Therefore, the area of the garden is 15 1/2 square feet.
