James measured a piece of construction paper to be 6 3/4 inches wide and 9 2/3 inches long. What is the area of the piece of construction paper in square inches

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of the piece of construction paper is [tex]\frac{261}{4} inches^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of construction paper =[tex]6 \frac{3}{4} inches[/tex]

                                                 =[tex]\frac{27}{4} inches[/tex]

Width of construction paper = [tex]9 \frac{2}{3} inches[/tex]

                                              = [tex]\frac{29}{3} inches[/tex]

Area of construction paper =[tex]Length \times Width[/tex]

Area of construction paper = [tex]\frac{27}{4} \times \frac{29}{3}[/tex]

                                             = [tex]\frac{261}{4} inches^2[/tex]

Hence the area of the piece of construction paper is [tex]\frac{261}{4} inches^2[/tex]
