    So square feet is area which is legnth times width or area=lw or a=lw

    width=w=2 2/4

    2/4=1/2

    w=2 1/2=5/2

    a=lw

    11 11/16=187/16

    187/16=l (5/2)

    multiply both sides by 2/5 to clear the fraction (1/2 times 2/1=2/2=1)

    374/80=legnth

    simplify

    374/80=187/40=4 27/40=legnth

    legnh must be less than 5 and 4 and 27/40 is less than 5 so it will fit
