find the area of the rectangle

the area should be 2.40inches
also known as 2 2/5 inches
The area of a rectangle is length x width
the length is 6
the width is 2/5
Let's multiply these numbers together
[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] × 6 = [tex]\frac{12}{5}[/tex]
(All I did was multiply 6 by the numerator of 2)
The area of the rectangle is [tex]\frac{12}{5}[/tex] [tex]in^{2}[/tex]
or in decimal form, 2.4 [tex]in^{2}[/tex]
Hope I helped! Comment if you have a question about my answer! :)
