Question

What is the area of a workshop that is 4 yard wide and 5 2/3 yard long

Answer 1

For this case we can start doing this:

`5(2)/(3)=(5\cdot3+2)/(3)=(17)/(3)`

and then we can find the are on this way:

`A=(17)/(3)yd\cdot4yd=(68)/(3)yd^2`

And we can rewrite this expression as:

`22(2)/(3)`
