[tex]\large\boxed{1.67\,\text{in}^2}[/tex]

In this question, we're trying to find the area of a rectangle.

To find the area of a rectangle, we would do length × width.

We know that the lengths are:

With the lengths above, we can find the area.

We would simply multiply 5 by 1/3 to get the area of the rectangle.

[tex]5 * 1/3 = 1.67[/tex]

When you multiply, you should get 1.67 when you round to the nearest hundredths.

Remember, area is always represented with the exponent of 2, or squared.

This means that the area of the rectangle is 1.67 in²

The area of a shape is the amount of space, it can occupy.

The area of the rectangle is [tex]1.667 in^2[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]Length = 5in[/tex]

[tex]Width =\frac 13 in[/tex]

The area of a rectangle is calculated using:

[tex]Area = Length \times Width[/tex]

Substitute values for Length and Width

[tex]Area = 5in \times \frac 13 in[/tex]

[tex]Area =\frac 53 in^2[/tex]

Divide 5 by 3

[tex]Area =1.667 in^2[/tex]

Hence, the area of the rectangle is [tex]1.667 in^2[/tex]
