Question

find the area of the rectangular heating-duct grill having a length of 2yds and a width of 21/4 yd.
(type a whole number or mixed number)

Answer 1

Is the latter number \(\dfrac{21}{4}\;or\;2\dfrac{1}{4}\)?

Answer 2

im not sure

Answer 3

Well, that's not very helpful. I would guess the latter is intended, but it's just not clear. Do both problems and let's see what you get.

\(2\;yds\cdot \dfrac{21}{4}\;yds = ??\;yds^{2}\)

\(2\;yds\cdot 2\dfrac{1}{4}\;yds = ??\;yds^{2}\)

Answer 4

ok so how would i solve this

Answer 5

Multiply?
