Find the area of a rectangle with sides of lengths 1/12 foot and 3/4 foot

To find out the area you need to make the denominator of each fraction (the lower number) to do this you need to times the numerator and denominator of the equation 3/4 by 3 so that the denominator of each fraction is 12. this makes the sides 1/12 ft and 9/12ft. you then need to times the numerators together to make the answer to the equation. you keep the denominator the same. 1 X 9 = 9. this means that the answer to the area of this rectangle is 9/12ft. hope this helps
