at the Middleton school festival, a test covers a rectagularspace 30 1/2 yards long and 9 1/3 yards wide. what is the area, in square yards,covered by the tent?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Multiply the length times width:

30 1/2 x 9 1/3= 284.6

Answer:

Hence, the area of the rectangular space is:

                          284.6667 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the length(l) of the rectangular space is: [tex]30\frac{1}{2}\ yard[/tex] .

which in improper fraction is: [tex]\dfrac{61}{2}\ yard[/tex]

Similarly, the width(b) of the rectangular space is: [tex]9\frac{1}{3}\ yard[/tex]

which in improper fraction is: [tex]\dfrac{28}{3}\ yard[/tex]

As we know that the area of the rectangular space is calculated as:

[tex]Area=l\times b\\\\\\Area=\dfrac{61}{2}\times \dfrac{28}{3}\ \text{square\ yards}\\\\\\Area=284.6667\ \text{square\ yards}[/tex]

 Hence, Area is: 284.6667 square yards.
