Let's calculate the area. The area of a rectangle is equal to the length of the length multiplied by the length of the height.
| \(5\frac{1}{6}*2\frac{2}{7}\) | Convert both fractions to an improper fraction. |
| \(\frac{6*5+1}{6}*\frac{7*2+2}{7}\) | Let's simplify this. |
| \(\frac{31}{6}*\frac{16}{7}\) | 16 and 6 have a GCF of 2, which can be factored out to ease computation. |
| \(\frac{31}{3}*\frac{8}{7}\) | Now, multiply the numerator and denominator together. |
| \(\frac{248}{21}\) | Now, we must convert it back to a mixed number as the question asks to represent the area as a mixed number. Without going over, 21 goes into 248 11 times. |
| \(11+\frac{248-21*11}{21}\) | |
| \(11+\frac{248-231}{21}\) | |
| \(11\frac{17}{21}\) | |
40% of 70% may seem difficult, but parsing the expression's different parts is essential to being able to understand this
"Of" is an indicator of multiplication. Knowing this, the expressions changes to \(40\%*70\%\).
| \(40\%*70\%\) | A number in a percentage is the same as the number over 100. |
| \(\frac{40}{100}*\frac{70}{100}\) | Simplify both fractions with its GCF. |
| \(\frac{2}{5}*\frac{7}{10}\) | Now, multiply both the fractions. |
| \(\frac{14}{50}=0.28=28\%\) | |
