Find the area of the rectangle...
the width is 1/2 and the length 2 1/2
You find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length times width.
(1/2)x(2 1/2) To multiply mixed numbers turn them into improper fractions.
(1/2)x (5/2)
(5/4) This is the improper fraction answer
1 1/4 This is the mixed number answer
