At a storage company, items are stored in containers that have a base of 5 1/2 yds by 1 2/3 yds. If there is a 3 x 3 array of these containers with no space between them, what is the area covered by the containers?

Answer:

68.70 yd.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we would convert these into decimals. 5 1/2 would turn into 5.50, and 1 2/3 is 1.66.

(1.66 yd.) * 5.50 yd. =

7.6338428 yd.

7.6338428 yd.*3*3=

= 68.7045852 yd.

shorten the decimal for a shorter, less accurate answer.
