I'm not quite sure what you mean by "how to get 10 1/2 in"
To find the area, you want to multiply 6 1/2 * 2 1/3 = 13/2 * 7/3 = 91/6
To find the perimenter, you want to add 6 1/2 + 2 1/3 + 6 1/2 + 2 1/3 = 39/6 + 14/6 + 39/6 + 14/6 = 106/6 = 53/3
I hope this helped. :))

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand. :((
What are you looking for, like the area or perimeter?
=^._.^=
Area
length = 6 1/2 = 13/2
Height = 2 1/3 = 7/3
we need to find length * height = 13/2 * 7/3 = 91/6 = 15 1/6
Idk how you would have 10 1/2
I think the question may be worng.

I think you teacher may be wrong again.
I'm pretty confident it's 15 1/6

Well my teacher said how she got the answer was I changed 6 1/2 to 6.5 and 2 1/3 to 2.3 then multiplied 6.5 x 2.3
2 1/3 does not equal 2.3
Please don't listen to your teacher.
2 1/3 = 2.3333333 (with infinite threes)
While you can estimate 2 1/3 as 2.3, it's not very accurate, especially if you're doing small scale things like this problem.
