This room is rectangular.
Assumption made by looking at the side length and width.
Area of a rectangle = length×width
[tex] 2\frac{1}{2} [/tex] × [tex] 3\frac{1}{3} [/tex]
change the mixed fractions to improper fractions
=[tex] \frac{5}{2} [/tex] × [tex] \frac{10}{3} [/tex]
=[tex] \frac{50}{6} [/tex]
it can be further simplified
=[tex] \frac{50/2}{6/2} [/tex]
=[tex] \frac{25}{3} [/tex]
Change it to an mixed fraction:
=[tex] 8\frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Answer: [tex] 8\frac{1}{3} [/tex]
