A rectangular window is 3/8 yard wide and 3/4 yard long. What is the area of the window in square yards?
I'm 96% positive the answer is 9/32
To find the area of a rectangle, we need to multiply its length by its width.
Given that the width of the window is 3/8 yard and the length is 3/4 yard, we can use the following formula to calculate the area:
Area = Length x Width
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
Area = (3/4) yard x (3/8) yard
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator:
Area = (3 x 3) / (4 x 8) yard^2
Simplifying the fraction gives us:
Area = 9 / 32 yard^2
Therefore, the area of the rectangular window is 9/32 square yards.
