Area with Fractions

Find the area of rectangles when side lengths are fractions or mixed numbers. Area = length × width. Always include the unit squared in your answer.

Rectangle Area

Area = length × width. Multiply the fractions and include the units².

\text{length} = \dfrac{3}{4}\text{ ft},\quad \text{width} = \dfrac{2}{3}\text{ ft}

Area =

\text{length} = 2\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ cm},\quad \text{width} = 1\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ cm}

Area =

\text{length} = \dfrac{5}{6}\text{ m},\quad \text{width} = \dfrac{3}{5}\text{ m}

Area =

\text{length} = 1\dfrac{3}{4}\text{ in},\quad \text{width} = 2\dfrac{2}{3}\text{ in}

Area =

Draw a picture if it helps. Write the equation, then solve.

A garden bed is $\dfrac{3}{4}$ of a yard wide and $\dfrac{5}{6}$ of a yard long. What is its area in square yards?

Area =

A tile is $2\dfrac{1}{3}$ inches long and $1\dfrac{1}{2}$ inches wide. What is its area?

Area =

A patch of grass measures $4\dfrac{1}{2}$ feet by $2\dfrac{2}{3}$ feet. What is its area?

Area =

Three identical square tiles each have a side length of $2\dfrac{1}{3}$ inches. What is the total area covered by all three tiles?
