 $\begin{array}{r} l = & 0.86 \\ w = & \frac{1}{5} \end{array}$

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 $l = 0.86$ and width $w = \frac{1}{5}$ into the formula for the area of a rectangle.

$0.86 \cdot \frac{1}{5}$

Step 3

Combine $0.86$ and $\frac{1}{5}$ .

$\frac{0.86}{5}$

Step 4

Divide $0.86$ by $5$ .

$0.172$
