A back yard has dimensions 3 4/5 yards by 1 1/2 yards. What is the area of the back yard in square yards?

The dimensionsof the back yard = 3 4/5 yds and 1 1/2 yds
Area of th back yard = Product of their dimensions
=( 3 4/5)(1 1/2)
= (3*5+4) /5(1*2+1) /2
= (15+4)(2+1)/10
= 19*3/10
= 57/10
= 5.7 sq yds
