Answer:
[tex]A=497.295in^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A display is geometrically a rectangle. So, the area of the apple display is given by:
[tex]A=w*h[/tex]
Where:
[tex]w=width\\h=height[/tex]
First, let's convert those mixed numbers into fractions, we can do it using the following equation:
[tex]a \frac{b}{c} =\frac{a*c+b}{c}[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]w=25\frac{7}{10} =\frac{25*10+7}{10} =\frac{257}{10} =25.7in[/tex]
[tex]h=w=19\frac{7}{20} =\frac{19*20+7}{20} =\frac{387}{20} =19.35in[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the new apple display is:
[tex]A=(19.35)*(25.7)=497.295in^2[/tex]
