What is the area of the flag shown below?
A flag with a length of 2 and one-third feet and a width of 2 and a half feet.
To find the area of the flag, we need to multiply the length and the width of the flag.
The length of the flag is 2 and one-third feet, which can be written as 2 + 1/3. To convert this to a fraction, we can multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator of the fraction (3), and add the numerator (1), giving us (2*3 + 1) / 3 = 7/3.
The width of the flag is 2 and a half feet, which can be written as 2 + 1/2. To convert this to a fraction, we can multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator of the fraction (2), and add the numerator (1), giving us (2*2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2.
Now, we can multiply the length (7/3) by the width (5/2) to find the area:
Area = (7/3) * (5/2)
= (7 * 5) / (3 * 2)
= 35 / 6
Therefore, the area of the flag is 35/6 square feet, or approximately 5.83 square feet.
