Answer:

The area of the floor space is equal to 5.83 sq yards.

Explanation:

Given that,

Each row requires a section of floor that is 1 ¾ yards by 3 ⅓ yards.

We need to find how many square yards of floor space are taken up by one row of cheerleaders.

We know that, the area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

So,

$A=(7)/(4)* (10)/(3)\\\\A=5.83\ yards^2$

So, the area of the floor space is equal to 5.83 sq yards.
