Answer 1

Answer:
`20(11)/(32)\ sq\ yd`

Explanation:

Given: The width of the room =
`3(7)/(8)\ yd=(31)/(8)\ yd`

The length of the room =
`1(5)/(4)\ yd=(21)/(4)\ yd`

The area of the rectangular room=
`length * width`

⇒The area of the rectangular room=
`(21)/(4)*(31)/(8)\ sq\ yd`

⇒The area of the rectangular room=
`(651)/(32)\ sq\ yd`

⇒The area of the rectangular room=
`20(11)/(32)\ sq\ yd`
