what is the price of something if there is 15 and one third feet by 8 and one half feet if the price is $4.75 per foot
I am assuming we are talking about a price in square feet . . .
A = length times width
15 and 1/3 = 46/3
8 and a half = 8.5
$${\frac{{\mathtt{46}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{8.5}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{391}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}} = {\mathtt{130.333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!3}}$$ square feet
So we need to purchase 131 square feet's worth (assuming they don't deal in fractions).
131*4.75 = $622.25
