To find the area of the garden, we multiply the length by the width.
The length of the garden is 10 1/3 feet, which can be written as 31/3 feet.
The width of the garden is 1 1/2 feet, which can be written as 3/2 feet.
So, the area of the garden is (31/3) * (3/2) = (31 * 3) / (3 * 2) = 93/6.
To convert this fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
93 รท 6 = 15 remainder 3.
So, the area of the garden is 15 3/6 square feet.
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
15 3/6 = 15 1/2.
Therefore, the area of the garden is 15 1/2 square feet.
