Answer:
Area of the rectangle formula: A = lw
Step-by-step explanation:
length = 4/8
width = 2/3
----------------------------------------------
There are many ways to approach this question, and I'll show you one way:
A = (2/3) × (4/8)
(I will be multiplying numerators together and denominators together)
A = (2 · 4) / (3 · 8)
A = 8/24
Simplify.
I can divide both numerator and denominator by 8 since the numerator's 8 and the denominator's 24 share a factor of 8.
A= (8÷8) / (24÷8)
A = 1/3 square centimeters
