Question

What is the area of a rectangle that is 4 1/2 cm long and 2 5/9 cm wide? Solution: Answer: What is the area of a square that has a side of 4 3/5 cm?

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 23/2

2) 529/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation:

$4\frac{1}{2} = \frac{(2*4) + 1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}$

$2\frac{5}{9} = \frac{(9*2) + 5}{9} = \frac{23}{9}$

A = $\frac{9}{2} * \frac{23}{9} = \frac{23}{2}$

-----------------------------

Transformation:

$4\frac{3}{5} = \frac{(5*4) + 3}{5} = \frac{23}{5}$

A = $(\frac{23}{5})^{2} = \frac{529}{25}$
