The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = lw

A = 3(2 7/8)

Multiply

A = 8 5/8

8 5/8 square feet

 

P.S. If you don't know how to multiply 3 and 2 7/8, here it is below :

3(2 7/8)

Turn 3 into a fraction and 2 7/8 into an improper fraction

3/1 (23/8)

Multiply across

69/8

Turn into mixed number

8 5/8
