 $\begin{array}{r} l = & \frac{5}{4} \\ w = & \frac{1}{3} \end{array}$

Step 1

The area of a rectangle is equal to the length times the width.

$(l e n g t h) \cdot (w i d t h)$

Step 2

Substitute the values of the length $l = \frac{5}{4}$ and width $w = \frac{1}{3}$ into the formula for the area of a rectangle.

$\frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$

Step 3

Multiply $\frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$ .
