samantha measured the dimensions of a rectangle poster frame.it was 3/4 yard long and 1/2 yard wide.what is the area of the frame?
An easier way is converting yards to inches (36 inches in a yard)
So converting will give you 27 in by 18 inches
(3/4 of 36) and (1/2 of 36) now it will be easier to multiply
So 27 • 18 = 486 square inches
