Misha made a poster showing how to calculate a BMI (body mass index). The poster is 2 1/4 ft. times 1 5/6 ft . What is the area of the poster? Convert the answer to a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the area of the poster, we need to multiply the length and width of the poster.

The length of the poster is 2 1/4 ft, or 9/4 ft.
The width of the poster is 1 5/6 ft, or 11/6 ft.

To find the area, we multiply the length and width:
(9/4 ft) * (11/6 ft) = (99/24 ft^2)

To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3:
(99/3) / (24/3) = 33/8 ft^2

The area of the poster is 33/8 ft^2.
