Mr. burdon has a rectangular plot of land that measures 7 1/6 feet in length and 2 8/9feet in width. what is the approximate area of mr. burdens plot

The area of a rectangle is
A = l*w
so we plug in what we are given
A = 7 1/6 * 2 8/9
First rewrite the fractions into improper fractions
43/6 * 26/9
now multiply
1118/6*9
1118/54
Simplify 
559/27
rewrite into mixed number fraction 
20 19/27 feet^2

Hope this helps :)
