Bobby was painting a sign that was 2 3/4 feet by 1 1/2 feet. Use the model to help find the area of the sign. What was the area of the sign in square feet?
A. 4 1/4 square feet
B. 4 1/8 square feet
C. 3 1/4 square feet
D. 3 1/8 square feet

4 1/8 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= l*b assuming that it's a rectangle or a square

2 3/4* 1 1/2= to do this we need to convert these mixed fractions to improper fractions (How to convert-Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator. Add that to the numerator. Then write the result on top of the denominator.)

so, 2 3/4 converted will be- 11/4

& 1 1/2 converted will be- 3/2

11/4*3/2=33/8

Now we need to convert this into a mixed fraction again, coz the question was given in that form. (How to convert-Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator. Add that to the numerator Then write the result on top of the denominator.)- so,

The ans would be 4 1/8 sqft
