The correct Answer is:
To find the area of the rectangular park, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions The length of the park is given as \( 36 \frac{3}{5} \) meters. We need to convert this mixed number into an improper fraction. - To convert \( 36 \frac{3}{5} \): - Multiply the whole number (36) by the denominator (5): \( 36 \times 5 = 180 \) - Add the numerator (3): \( 180 + 3 = 183 \) - So, \( 36 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{183}{5} \) meters. Now, let's convert the breadth \( 16 \frac{2}{3} \) meters into an improper fraction. - To convert \( 16 \frac{2}{3} \): - Multiply the whole number (16) by the denominator (3): \( 16 \times 3 = 48 \) - Add the numerator (2): \( 48 + 2 = 50 \) - So, \( 16 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{50}{3} \) meters. ### Step 2: Calculate the Area The area \( A \) of a rectangle is calculated using the formula: \[ A = \text{length} \times \text{breadth} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ A = \frac{183}{5} \times \frac{50}{3} \] ### Step 3: Multiply the Fractions To multiply the fractions, we multiply the numerators and the denominators: \[ A = \frac{183 \times 50}{5 \times 3} \] Calculating the numerator: - \( 183 \times 50 = 9150 \) Calculating the denominator: - \( 5 \times 3 = 15 \) So, we have: \[ A = \frac{9150}{15} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Fraction Now, we simplify \( \frac{9150}{15} \): - Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 15: \[ 9150 \div 15 = 610 \] \[ 15 \div 15 = 1 \] Thus, the area \( A = 610 \) square meters. ### Final Answer The area of the rectangular park is \( 610 \, \text{m}^2 \). ---
