Peggy is making a quilt using panels that are 1/2 foot by 1/2 foot. The quilt is 5 1/2 feet long and 4 feet wide. What is the area of the quilt?

The area is 22 because 5 1/2 •4 is 22

The are of the quilt is 22 feet long. Since area is length times width, you multiply 5 1/2 by 4 feet. The area of the quilt panels are 1/4 of a foot. The same concept can be used to find that out, too. I hope you like this answer!
