Considering it's dimensions given as improper fractions, the area of the rectangle is of 3.28125 in².

What is the area of a rectangle?


The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is the multiplication of these dimensions, that is:

A = lw.

In this problem, the dimensions in inches are given as follows.

  • [tex]l = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2 + 0.5 = 2.5[/tex].
  • [tex]w = 1\frac{5}{16} = 1 + 0.3125 = 1.3125[/tex].

Hence the area in squared inches is given by:

A = lw = 2.5 x 1.3125 = 3.28125 in².
