Question 308552
Change the 1 2/3 to an improper fraction which is 5/3, then you can calculate 5 divided by 3.


Now, the formula for area of a fraction is {{{A=(b*h)/2}}}.


With a calculator, multply {{{(5/3)*(3/4)}}}, which you can do in your head = 5/4, then take that answer and divide by 2.  


On the calculator, 5 divided by 3 times 3 divided by 4, and then divided by 2.  You will get a decimal, which most calculators will convert back to a fraction.
The final answer is 5/8.
