Part A:
To calculate the area of the garden, you would multiply the width (2 2/3 feet) by the length (7 3/4 feet).
Area = 2 2/3 * 7 3/4
Area = (8/3) * (31/4)
Part B:
To find 56% of the area, you would first find 56% as a decimal (0.56) and then multiply this decimal by the area calculated in Part A.
The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B.
Gabriel's father has a garden in the back yard. The dimensions of the garden are shown here.
A green rectangle is shown. The width is labeled as 2 and two-thirds feet. The length is labeled as 7 and three-fourths feet.
Part A
Calculate the area of the garden. Show at least one step before you show your solution.
