Question

a rectangle is $\frac{11}{10}$ meters long and $\frac{1}{5}$ meter wide. what is the area of the rectangle? a. $\frac{11}{50}$ square meter b. $\frac{12}{15}$ square meter c. $\frac{12}{50}$ square meter d. $\frac{11}{15}$ square meter

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.

Step2: Substitute values

Here, $l=\frac{11}{10}$ meters and $w = \frac{1}{5}$ meters. So $A=\frac{11}{10}\times\frac{1}{5}$.

Step3: Multiply fractions

When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So $\frac{11}{10}\times\frac{1}{5}=\frac{11\times1}{10\times5}=\frac{11}{50}$ square - meters.

Answer:

A. $\frac{11}{50}$ square meter
