Question

1. find the area (honors - no calculator)

$2\frac{1}{4}$ ft
$\frac{6}{7}$ ft

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed number to fraction

$2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}$

Step2: Apply rectangle area formula

Area $= \text{length} \times \text{width} = \frac{6}{7} \times \frac{9}{4}$

Step3: Simplify and compute product

$\frac{6 \times 9}{7 \times 4} = \frac{54}{28} = \frac{27}{14}$

Step4: Convert to mixed number (optional)

$\frac{27}{14} = 1\frac{13}{14}$

Answer:

$\frac{27}{14}$ square feet or $1\frac{13}{14}$ square feet
