Bruno uses a piece of wrapping paper with dimensions 1 1/4 feet by 3 feet to wrap a gift. what is the total area of the paper used to wrap the gift?

15/4 or 3 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: To figure out the area we do the equation, Length x Width so... 1 1/4 x 3

You cannot multiply mixed numbers so we turn that into an improper fraction. The improper fraction for 1 1/4 is 5/4

You also cannot multiply whole numbers with fractions so you turn that into a fraction too. The fraction for 3 is 3/1.

The final equation is 5/4 x 3/1 = 15/4

Now you need to change it into a mixed number. The mixed number of 15/4 is 3 3/4
