What is the area of the figure? A rectangle is cut out of a large rectangle. The larger rectangle has a base of 6 yards and height of 7 and one-fourth yard. The smaller rectangle inside has a base of 3 and two-thirds yard and height of 5 yards.

Small one: 18 and 1-thirds yards² Large one: 43.5 yards²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = base*height

Large one: base = 6, height = 7.25 (7 and 1-fourth)

Area = 43.5yards²

Small one: base = 3 (2/3 or 2-thirds), height = 5

change the mixed fraction 3 (2/3) to 11/3

area = 11/3 * 5 = 55/3

change to mixed fraction which = 18 (1/3)
