Answer 1

Area of Jhons planter is 164.89 square inches

Solution:

Given that,

Jhons garden has a big planter that measures
`18(2)/(3)` in by
`8 (5)/(6)` inches

To find: area of Jhons planter

From given information,

`\text{ length } = 18(2)/(3) = (3 * 18 + 2)/(3) = (56)/(3) \text{ inches }`

`\text{ width } = 8(5)/(6) = (6 * 8 + 5)/(6) = (53)/(6) \text{ inches }`

The area of planter is given as:

`area = length * width`

`area = (56)/(3) * (53)/(6) = (2968)/(18) = 164.89`

Thus area of Jhons planter is 164.89 square inches
