Sagot :

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

[tex]\begin{gathered} Length(l)=3\frac{3}{4} \\ Width(w)=2\frac{1}{4} \\ Area=l\cdot w \\ Area=3\frac{3}{4}\cdot2\frac{1}{4} \\ Area=\frac{15}{4}\cdot\frac{9}{4}=\frac{15\cdot9}{4\cdot4} \\ Area=\frac{135}{16}=8\frac{7}{16} \\ Area=8\frac{7}{16}in^2 \\ \\ \therefore Area=8\frac{7}{16}in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
