Answer:
69 3/10 square meters
Explanation:
Given the expression:
[tex]16\frac{1}{2}\times4\frac{1}{5}[/tex]First, change each mixed fraction to an improper fraction:
To change a mixed fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add the numerator:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 16\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2\times16+1}{2}=\frac{33}{2} \\ 4\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5\times4+1}{5}=\frac{21}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the expression becomes:
[tex]=\frac{33}{2}\times\frac{21}{5}[/tex]Next, multiply the numerators and denominators:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{33\times21}{2\times5} \\ =\frac{693}{10} \\ =69\frac{3}{10}m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
