Answer: 99 sq., meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: For ice rink, Length = [tex]14\dfrac25\text{meters}=\dfrac{14\times5+2}{5}=\dfrac{72}{5}\text{meters}[/tex]
Width = [tex]6\dfrac78\text{meters}=\dfrac{8\times6+7}{8}=\dfrac{55}{8}\text{meters}[/tex]
Now, Area of ice rink = length x width
[tex]=\dfrac{72}{5}\times\dfrac{55}{8}=\dfrac{9}{1}\times\dfrac{11}{1}=99\text{ sq. meters}[/tex]
Hence, the area of the ice rink Mr.Cunningham built = 99 sq., meters.
