let the length of a rectangle be \"a+=%287%2F8%29yd\" and its width be \"b=%2832%2F49%29+yd\"
\n" ); document.write( "then area \"A\" will be: \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+a%2Ab\"....substitute \"a\" and \"b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%287%2F8%29yd%2A%2832%2F49%29yd\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%287%2F8%29%2832%2F49%29yd%5E2\"…………….\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%28%287%2A32%29%2F%288%2A49%29%29yd%5E2\"…………….simplify..(divide \"7\" and \"49\" by \"7\", as \"8\" and \"32\" by \"8\" as well)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%28%281%2A4%29%2F%281%2A7%29%29yd%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%284%2F7%29yd%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
