A panel measures $5 \frac { 2 } { 5 }$ yards long by $7 \frac { 4 } { 5 }$ yards wide. What is the area of the panel? (Multiply length times width.)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the area, multiply length by width: $5 \frac { 2 } { 5 } \times 7 \frac { 4 } { 5 }$. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: $\frac{27}{5} \times \frac{39}{5}$. Multiply: $\frac{27 \times 39}{5 \times 5} = \frac{1053}{25} = 42 \frac{3}{25}$.
