Given:
Length = 2/5ft or 0.4ft
Width = 3/8ft or 0.375ft
Directly convert the fraction into decimals in order to compute it easily.
Formula for the area of a rectangle: A = wl
Solution:
Substitute the given values of width and length to formula for the area of the rectangle.
A = wl
A = (0.4ft)(0.375ft)
A = 0.15 ft^2
Final answer: The area of the rectangle is 0.15ft^2
