To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the length by the width.
In this case, the length is 10 1/3 feet and the width is 1 1/2 feet.
To multiply 10 1/3 by 1 1/2, first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
10 1/3 = (10 * 3 + 1)/3 = 31/3
1 1/2 = (1 * 2 + 1)/2 = 3/2
Now multiply the fractions:
(31/3) * (3/2) = (31 * 3)/(3 * 2) = 93/6
To convert the improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator (93) by the denominator (6) and write the remainder as a fraction:
93 รท 6 = 15 with a remainder of 3
The mixed number is then 15 3/6, which can be simplified to 15 1/2.
Hence, the area of the vegetable garden is 15 1/2 square feet.
