What is the area of a rectangle that measures 4/10 x 4Ft. My grandson's teacher says the answer is squared = 1 2/5 squared

6$\begingroup$ It would help to be clear about the units of measurement. Both sides of the rectangle should have "length". $\endgroup$ – hardmath May 17 '16 at 2:00

Area of rectangle = length * width
$\frac{4*4}{10} = \frac{16}{10} = \frac{8}{5} = 1 \frac{3}{5}$
Units are feet squared, so
$1 \frac{3}{5} $ $ft^2 $ is the correct answer.
