    Writing area of poster in fraction 1 1/8 square yards.

    Writing area of poster in decimal form is 1.125 square yards.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    length of poster = 1 1/2 - yards

    length of poster in normal fraction (a/b form) is (1*2 + 1) / 2 yards = 3/2 yards

    Width of poster = 3/4 - yards.

    Writing area for the poster will be whole area of rectangular poster. Area of rectangle is given by length * width

    Since, only length and width of poster is given it can be safely concluded that poster is rectangular in shape.

    Therefore,

    Area of poster = length of poster * width of poster

    = 3/2 * 3/4 square yards = 9/8 square yards

    In mixed fraction form 9/8 square yards is 1 1/8 square yards. In decimal form area of poster is 1.125 square yards.

    Poster given in the problem gives Dante and his two classmates 1 1/8 square yards writing area.
