1 answer

To convert Olivia's desk dimensions from mixed numbers into improper fractions or decimals, we can follow these steps:

  1. Convert the measurements:

    • One and 1/4 inches can be expressed as: \[ 1 \frac{1}{4} = 1 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \text{ inches} \approx 1.25 \text{ inches} \]
    • Two and 1/4 inches can be expressed as: \[ 2 \frac{1}{4} = 2 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \text{ inches} \approx 2.25 \text{ inches} \]
  2. Final dimensions: Therefore, the actual dimensions of Olivia's desk are:

    • Width: \( \frac{5}{4} \) inches (or 1.25 inches)
    • Length: \( \frac{9}{4} \) inches (or 2.25 inches)

In summary, Olivia's desk dimensions are 1.25 inches by 2.25 inches.
