To find the area of a rectangle, you need two dimensions: length and width. It appears that you've provided two mixed numbers, 2 1/5 and 3 1/8, which may represent the length and width.
First, let's convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions:
2 1/5 = 11/5
3 1/8 = 25/8
Now, you can use these fractions as the length and width of the rectangle to find the area:
Area = Length × Width = (11/5) × (25/8)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
Area = (11/5) × (25/8) = (11 × 25) / (5 × 8) = 275/40
Now, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 5:
Area = (275 ÷ 5) / (40 ÷ 5) = 55/8
So, the area of the rectangle is 55/8 square units.
