 $\begin{array}{r} l = & 2 yd \\ w = & \frac{3}{4} \end{array}$

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 $l = 2$ and width $w = \frac{3}{4}$ into the formula for the area of a rectangle.

$2 \cdot \frac{3}{4}$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Step 3.1

Factor $2$ out of $4$ .

$2 \cdot \frac{3}{2 (2)}$

Step 3.2

Cancel the common factor.

$2 \cdot \frac{3}{2 \cdot 2}$

Step 3.3

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{3}{2} {(yd)}^{2}$
