Answer 1

To find the area of the grass area, we need to multiply the length by the width.

Length = 3 and three-fourths feet = 3.75 feet
Width = 2 and one-third feet = 2.33 feet

Area = Length x Width
Area = 3.75 feet x 2.33 feet
Area ≈ 8.7375 square feet

Since the area of the grass area is less than 15 square feet, it will not be large enough for Carly's picnic. Therefore, the answer is No.
