Answer 1

To calculate the area of the poster, we need to multiply the length and width of the poster. The length is 2 1/4 ft, or (8/4 + 1/4) ft, which equals 9/4 ft. The width is 1 5/6 ft, or (6/6 + 5/6) ft, which equals 11/6 ft.

So, the area of the poster is (9/4 ft) * (11/6 ft) = (99/24 ft²).

To simplify this mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator: 99 ÷ 24 = 4 remainder 3. Therefore, the area of the poster is expressed as 4 3/24 ft², or more simply as 4 1/8 ft².

The correct answer is: 4 1/8 ft².
